AI: The Waiting Room – an immersive experience
Art Vox (New York, USA)
Enter a space resembling a government institution and prepare to escape.
An electronic system calls numbers and a silent warden gives out
mysterious packages containing a different story to each audience
member. Powerful AI makes them the centre of the action – based on their
input and decisions whilst they each become connected in a shared
experience of – waiting. This new genre of personalised storytelling
highlights how a society that uses progressive technology can still be
moved by the timeless creativity, humour and uplifting interactions made
possible by human nature.
