Verify You Are Human takes a sly yet apprehensive look between neurons, CPUs, and machines. From CAPTCHA requests to AI slop to exhaust manifolds, the gap between biological and computational “minds” seems to be on a rubber band– contracting and expanding with accelerating fervor as the relationship becomes increasingly entangled.
Verify You Are Human is both a frantic reestablishment of the brain’s supremacy and a capitulation to our fabricated world and silicon-based minders.
This performance will take place in LaBar Performance Hall, in the O’Neill Hall of Music on Notre Dame’s campus. Part of the “Sonifying the Body” Series.
