Screen recording from Tiri's Open Studio at CultureHub, January 31, 2020
A pianist, a guitarist, two readers, and a bot meet online for a live performance. As delays build and propagate throughout the network, they collectively generate a live-score over which a foreign speaker and native speaker enunciate, whose compressed voices are then analyzed and transcribed by a bot in search of meaning. The certainty in algorithms clashes against the uncertainty in human speech.
CultureHub Resident Artist Tiri Kananuruk transforms her live performance to a virtual platform in You are 99% likely to see this show. Originally titled You are 99% likely to come to this show, Kananuruk explores our automated life as we welcome algorithms influencing our choice through recommendations and search. With the advancements in AI and neural networks making computers smarter and faster than ever before, we approach a winner-take-all ecosystem. Answering all our questions with a single “most correct” response. The computer gives us 1 result and we believe it.
As humans, we often follow instincts and gut feelings. Sometimes, with little confidence or awareness, but we decide to do it anyway. In this show, humans and machines perform together, creating room for improvisation, exposing levels of confidence, and reinterpreting meaning in the process.
A conversation with Tiri Kananuruk and Mimi Yin will follow the performance.
