Can AI lead us to a collective metamorphosis? Or is there something in its nature that precludes the emergence of a shared unconscious from the outset? Set against the baroque backdrop of Sophienkirche, this 60-minute AI-modified choreography follows our search for something sublime — from the splendor of the Baroque court to the depth of religious reverence to the ecstasy of club culture and deep into the temptations of modern algorithmic rabbit holes — to understand what repeatedly awakens longing in us.
Together with the imposing Schuke organ of the Sophienkirche, three dancers unfold their movements during an evening of data extraction. Will their dance with AI be a joint minuet or an extravagant staging of their quest for something greater than themselves?
