On Saturday, February 8, 2024, from 1–2 PM EST, the learning machines presented a one-hour live-streamed performance that dove headfirst into the enigmatic world of AI, algorithms, and computational tools.
During a week-long research-creation residency at Concordia University’s Black Box, we experimented with the unseen mechanisms that shape today’s learning machines—systems that simultaneously reveal and conceal how knowledge is made and how we, as subjects, are formed.
The performance featured a dynamic mix of energetic demands, virtual manifestations, recursive loops, glitched imaginations, machinic dreams, and warped memories as we explored what it means to learn, think, and create alongside today’s algorithmic learning machines.
