Top of PageHello Hi There
Synopsis:
This is the U.S. premiere of annie Dorsen's ground-breaking, human-less new play for computers Hello Hi There, as a part of PS122's 6th annual COIL festival. In Hello Hi There, Dorsen takes the famous 1970s television debate between the philosopher Michel Foucault and linguist/activist Noam Chomsky as inspiration and material for a dialogue between two custom-designed chatbots: every evening, these computer programs, designed to mimic human conversations, perform a newas it were, improvisedlive talk. Dorsen further explains her work in an interview with Exberliner.com, "When I first made two chatbots talk to each other, they got stuck on this 'hellohi there' back and forth. The outcome is a juxtaposition of banalities. Even we humans don't really invent anything new when we talk. It is through the re-arrangement of existing words and concepts that we create something unexpected, something new. This is exactly what the chatbots do [in this work]." In the tradition of medieval mystics such as Ramon Lull and albertus Magnus, who once strove to build mechanical men with feathers, bronze, and levers, aspiring to resolve the most difficult philosophical problems, the chatbots are a contemporary answer to the question of the artificial mind. What world of thought can arise when two computers sit down together and reflect on what they have in common?
