About this Event
MEETINGS RESEARCH is a series of improvised conversational performances by 2024 Artist-in-Residence Sarah Rothberg which are affected in real time by various generative AI technologies. The basic format of the work is two people engaging in open-ended conversation with each other on stage, based on a prompt provided on the fly. Each iteration of the conversation may be impacted by AI technologies in different permutations. For example, the prompt or lines for the participants might be scripted by an LLM, or the conversation might be visualized through projected imagery based on input from the participants. MEETINGS RESEARCH is an extension of Rothberg’s larger body of work MEETINGS, which invites you to reflect on conversation as a creative act and on emerging communication technologies.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Sarah Rothberg creates playful, poetic, usually-a-bit-weird experiences that invite you to reconsider your relationships to the world around you. These take many forms ranging from installation to immersive experiences, performance, websites, video, writing, workshops, and experiments with technology. Rothberg’s work appears in a variety of contexts: at art exhibitions, in public google docs, on the screens in the NYC Subway system, or whispered into the void. Support for Rothberg’s work has come from organizations including: MoMA, CPR – Center for Performance Research, rhizome.org, bitforms gallery, MTA Arts&Design, CultureHub, and Gray Area. Rotherberg is an Assistant Arts Professor at NYU (Interactive Telecommunications Program), a member of Onassis ONX Studio, and a mentor/former-member at NEW INC, and is part of collaboratives: MORE&MORE UNLIMITED, which offers experiences for imagining changed worlds, and IS THIS THING ON? a post-web2 experiment in artist-driven livestreaming.
