Synopsis

This is the first performance of the project Superintelligent Sentimental, where a science fiction world is formed by interweaving speculative writing and music. Influenced by Buddhist and Daoist symbols and sensibilities, this performance is a prologue of images, affects, and characters from a world organised and governed by interconnected superintelligences. Circular electronic music, poetry performance and vocalisations create a meeting point between visions of the past and the future, reimagining what is possible in the present moment. The performance takes place alongside the release of a music EP and a book of fictive verse, prose and dialogue.
