Show: Imitation Game. Conversation with a machine
What if artificial intelligence was not a break, but the fulfillment of a fiction?
MAIF Social Club (Paris 3rd)
About
Between demonstration, performance, and philosophical investigation, Imitation Game. Conversation with a machine offers a collective experience where the audience is invited to test, live, the uncertain boundaries between human and machine. On stage, human and AI dialogue in real-time, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. The audience is invited to participate in a disturbing experiment: in a world saturated with simulations, are we still capable of recognizing human speech? By inviting the public to guess "who is speaking," this playful and immersive format makes it possible to question current issues: the reliability of information, the place of fiction, and critical thinking in the face of technology. At the crossroads of theater and philosophy, it offers sensitive and accessible keys to understanding how these new machines transform our relationship with language, reality, and others.
Our take on this event
Test your intuition in a mind-bending experiment where the boundary between human discourse and machine mimicry completely dissolves. Step into the spotlight to decipher who is truly speaking and reflect on how deep our reliance on simulations has actually become.
