An Excerpt from a film installation, 4K, Color, Sound, Camera: Avi Levi.
The piece stages a raw theatrical experiment where five actors embody archetypal characters: a dog, a child, a woman, a man, and God. Each is based on a fine-tuned bot, specifically programmed by machine learning experts to reflect distinct behavioral patterns and power dynamics. The performance draws from early GPT technology (Spring 2022), generating dialogues based on hundreds of real-world conversations marked by power differentials—from workplace hierarchies to domestic relationships, medical consultations to law enforcement encounters. Each fine-tuned bot represents a distinct archetype, their interactions exposing the crude mechanics of authority and submission. In this circular dialogue—from dog to child, child to woman, woman to man, man to God, and finally God to dog—the boundaries between human performance and machine-generated text blur, creating an unsettling exchange where actors inhabit artificial intelligence and technology embodies human power structures.
