The Zizi Show

Jake Elwes and The Public Universal Friend (AKA The PUF) present: the Zizi Show! In this fantastical performance merging drag, music, artificial intelligence (AI), and experimental video art, audiences will be transported into a techno-futuristic world beyond the boundaries of screens and infused with queerness. The PUF traces back to folklores about creating artificial life for telling the prophecies of the digital age. What can we learn from these stories of desires and pursuits of greater intelligence in our technology-saturated world today? Through comedic and interactive storytelling, the performers will demystify the construction of deepfakes, explore AI’s ethical problems, and invite us to imagine a reclamation of exploitative technologies.
