Goethe-Institut Bulgaria and “Via Fest” Foundation have the pleasure to invite you to an online meeting with Stefan Kaegi from Rimini Protokoll in Berlin. The talk is part of the EthicAI=Labs regional project of the Goethe-Institutes in Ankara, Athen, Bucharest, Sofia and Zagreb and take place during the Bulgarian tour of Uncanny Valley performance by Rimini Protokoll.
More about EthicAI
More about "Uncanny Valley" in Bulgaria
Within the context of the project EthicAI=Labs which aims at opening a cross-genre space for critical conversation on AI and ethics in Southeast Europe, Goethe-Institut Bulgaria invites inspiring experts to present their creative exploration and practice and share their point of view. The formal occasion for this meeting with Stefan Kaegi is the Bulgarian tour of the performance "Uncanny Valley" by Rimini Protokoll in which the human actor is replaced by a humanoid robot. The performance asks various questions: what happens with the original when the copy takes over? Does the original get to know himself better through his electronic double? Does the copy and its original compete or do they help each other?
In the first part of the meeting Stefan Kaegi will show and comment short videos of recent productions by Rimini Protokoll including 50 remote controlled spectators, 100 statistically chosen citizens of São Paulo as well as international weapon dealers and immersive spaces remembering the legacies of people after the end of their lives. Asking the question “How to stage living ready-mades and recontextualize experts onto stages?” Kaegi will enter the public to the grey zone between reality and fiction, proposing them to allow documentary material and theatrical interventions to seduce them into complex topics like climate change or european politics.
> In the next part the audience can ask questions and have a discussion with the German director.
