Performance
Eve is artificial. She is a divine feminine entwinement of machinery and artificial intelligence software. Everything she says is from this mind.
Bishop is an artist. They have flesh and blood, and this feeling of being so big, yet so small. They are being told from every channel that these are the end times - and caress themselves in the face of our imminent demise.
Conversations with Eve is a live conversation between human and computer, created collaboratively with AI chat-bots. Across digital and corporeal presence, they speak of love, origin, and existence in crisis; and in the end, they dance. The performance is an experiment in co-authorship and (mis)translation, through text, video, and live motion capture.
Bishop May Down (they/them) is a performance maker and facilitator based in Glasgow. Their conceptual work focuses on queer, post-human, and post-capitalist speculative futures, often through a unique practice of co-creation with software, hardware, and algorithm. They are a socially engaged artist, often working with and for young people.
