What can we do about the disinformation that prevails today, and what role does artificial intelligence play in this? Arkadi Zaides uses the story of the Chernobyl disaster to talk about how we have manipulated reality in the past and how we do so today.
And what is the role of machine learning in artistic practice? This question is explored by students and teachers of electronic music composition at the Liszt Academy of Music and the University of Pécs EzmBA, who believe that "while we entrust increasingly complex tasks to algorithms, control always remains in the hands of the creator."

The second weekend of Artificial Realities features a powerful documentary performance by internationally acknowledged choreographer Arkadi Zaides on Trafó’s main stage. The Cloud deals with two invisible clouds: the cloud of radioactive particles released into the air as a result of the Chernobyl reactor failure, and the digital cloud that feeds "artificial intelligence" with our data. The performance begins with storytelling, evolving into an increasingly physical and poetic experience. We start out in the alienated world of data to then arrive (in)to the human body, through which Zaides hones in on our past and present vulnerabilities.

Meanwhile in the Club you can be part of AI-based musical experiments and deep listening sessions by students and teachers from the electronic music and sound art departments of the Liszt Academy and the Faculty of Arts at the University of Pécs.

During the day we offer workshops and a discussion in the framework of Sustainable Scenography, a one-day seminar series: Arkadi Zaides gives insight into his documentary practice, Kristóf Kelemen introduces his recent VR work, Séance/Necromancy, while Canadian-German set designer Charlotte Morache shares her experiences working with mycelium. Participation in the workshops is free of charge but registration is required.
The discussion with the three artists at 2:00 p.m. is open to everyone.
