Join this event including a performance followed by a panel discussion to hear from researchers at the University of Edinburgh, joined by researchers at Lancaster University exploring embodiment, materialism and technology, as part of Operation Biodegradable exhibition, for the 2025 Edinburgh Science Festival.
This performance has been developed in collaboration with artists and led by Theodore Koterwas, physically interacting with AI in an environment. The set has been built in collaboration with the creators of Shadowplay, Joseph Lindley and Jesse Josua Benjamin, an interactive installation playing with shadows and AI.
The panel discussion will invite researchers and key members of the exhibition to create an open and expansive dialogue around the exhibition themes, inviting audiences to ask questions and share their own comments observations.
