A.I. Anne: Stories Without Words
by Janet Biggs, in collaboration with Richard Savery and Mary Esther Carter, 2024
Multimedia live performance presented as part of the conference "Developing Dramaturgical Strategies for XR AI: Alongside NYC's Contemporary Performance Scene" at NYU Tandon @The Yard, Brooklyn, NY
The A.I. Anne project is an ongoing performance series combining human and technological improvisations and vocalizations, advocating for neurodiverse inclusion in AI technologies. Patterned after Biggs’ aunt who was autistic and non-speaking, A.I. Anne is a storyteller without words, detecting emotion and responding back with emotion in real time.
