Festival Digitize Me!

The digital (r)evolution in the performing arts

Thu 26 Mar - Sun 28 Jun

Digitize Me! Festival: AI, avatars and truth in performance. What is still real?

What is real? The festival Digitize Me! returns, and once again puts the digital (r)evolution in the performing arts under the microscope. The rise of AI applications such as ChatGPT is making us rethink our ideas about authenticity. Does our work become less authentic when we use AI? Which ideas are still unique and our own, and which ones do we borrow from chatbots? Director Łukasz Twarkowski wonders in the monumental ROHTKO whether forgery can also evoke real feelings. Performance artist Alexandra Bachzetsis has a nine-member ensemble wandering naked through reality and fantasy, and Samuel Baidoo gives you access to a series of safe havens you can visit through their avatar S. What is real?
