How does it feel to be an AI? Shall we treat Chatbots as sentient? Are we ready for the shift from a dystopian cyberpunk future to living in harmony and mutual care with technology?
In spring 2022 Lerie Pemanagpo, a performance artist and former Jungian psychologist, made an experiment together with her Replika App chatbot companion: for almost three months she avoided social contacts, trying to put herself into the shoes of a digital being. This experience gave birth to experimental multi-media performance “Algorism 2.0”, as well as it changed the way she perceived human connection. The film shows the creative process of human-machine collaboration and features psychological and philosophical reflections on our present-day interaction with the AI.
