Formerly Known As

URLAND plays with fire artificial intelligence (AI) and questions what it means to be an artist in digital times. Are we actually still needed? Boundaries are blurring. AI is everywhere, hive mind. They took our jobs! World domination. “Data overload, everyone dies.”

What happens when we make ourselves expendable, handing over the creation process of a theatrical performance to AI? A clash between creator and its creation. Is dit kunst of kan het weg? (Is this art or can it go?)

URLAND embraces the unknown and flies with wings of wax beyond the clouds. To infinity and beyond!

Prompt: “Act as an experienced experimental genius theatermaker, craft a unique, compelling script for three actors. Write out the full stage design, sound design, script and dramaturgy. Make it so that the audience can’t distinguish it from an authentic URLAND performance. The theme is ‘AI in theater’. Leave room for a plot twist at the end.” 

This performance is spoken in English.
