Belgian theatre brings the future to the present 🤝 Meet Alva Ishii. 🎭 Alva Ishii is the new in-house artist of Ghent's city theater NTGent. She is not a real person, although she is made up out of real people. 🧠 The innovative installation 'Meet Alva Ishii' confronts visitors with AI and reflects on its profound impact on the concepts of reality, ownership, creativity and the arts. 💡 Alva is not as abstract as you might think: her facial features, voice and artistic insights are the result of input by her human colleagues. Yet, she is more than the sum of all parts. 👁️ Interacting directly with an artist's creation offers a unique, new way of experiencing art while confronting us with the meaning of being human. 👉 Talk to Alva Ishii during the opening weekend of NTGent, until 6 October. #EmbracingOpenness #Belgium #openforinnovation #AI 📸 © NTGent
