AI as theatre

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter details three theatrical roles of AI: as artist, actor, and audience. Each is illustrated with a project created by artists who engage AI not just as a generative tool but as a complete system. Training is rehearsal, and generation is performance – both as measurement and classification, and as theatre, AI is associated with associated rituals, myths, and cultural production. Laurel’s analysis is extended to help us understand AI as creative endeavour, providing analysis and guidance for future creative practice
