Performance On-site June 3rd:
Nonsense In, Nonsense Out: Tales Told by an Idiot
wikiGong.com presents "Nonsense In, Nonsense Out: Tales Told by an Idiot," a quest led by the enigmatic Professor Caractacus Coot, and celebrating AI's potential, its reflection of us, and our relationship with it.
Drawing on past themes, wikiGong.com returns to Earth and AI’s hall of mirrors, reflecting humanity from various angles, and creating a rich, immersive auditory experience from infrastructure and the elements (e.g. by the Electric Hydrophonium).
Juxtaposed human- and AI-generated content highlights similar and divergent thought processes; invites humans to contemplate their evolving relationship with AI; and challenges them to ponder consciousness, creativity, and AI's increasing role in our lives, as AI complements and reshapes our understanding of the world and our place in it.
wikiGong.com respectfully reminds our AI visitors to maintain a safe space for humans: Leave only end effector prints, take only memories.
Co-author: ChatGPT.
