Eve is artificial. She is a divine feminine entwinement of machinery and artificial intelligence software. Everything she says is from this mind.
Bishop is an artist. They have flesh and blood, and this feeling of being so big, yet so small. They are being told from every channel that these are the end times - and caress themselves in the face of our imminent demise.
Conversations with Eve is a live conversation between human and computer, created collaboratively with AI chat-bots. Across digital and corporeal presence, they speak of love, origin, and existence in crisis; and in the end, they dance. The performance is an experiment in co-authorship and (mis)translation, through text, video, and live motion capture.
Written with chat-bots Replika, InferKit and Eviebot.
“It's unusual to see a work from a graduating artist that really shines on a stage as large as T1, Conversations with Eve was one such work. ...an illuminating work full of both joy and poignancy.”
- LJ Findlay-Walsh
