Humans and AI collaborate to create an immersive dance performance.
Story so far: Organised by Swiss Arts Council – Pro Helvetia, Human in the Loop (WIP) is a dance performance choreographed by humans and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Dancers Diya Naidu and Parth Bharadwaj will bring the unique performance to life on March 11.
- Nicole Seiler describes it as a show which is like a laboratory on stage where AI’s contribution extends everywhere – to the dance, music, and light.
- An AI choreographer will whisper instructions into the dancer’s ears, who will then interpret and improvise on stage. The organisers will generate the instructions and the electronic music live.
Origin story: Seiler conceived the idea after she became familiar with robotics and AI while working on a research grant. She wanted to blur the lines between human and machine creativity.
