The sun has set on Purgatory Mountain. A journey to the dark side of artificial intelligence.
On the occasion of dmstfctn ft. Evita Manji‘s futuristic project, Waluigi’s Purgatory, on 8 February, the online magazine t-mag poses crucial questions about artificial intelligence in a fascinating interview with the artists.
Ever wondered whether an Artificial Intelligence could have its own desires and will? What would they consist of? And what if these desires were not aligned with human ones? Should we worry or adapt to coexist with them? The artistic duo dmstfctn hazards a reply by dragging us on a nightmarish journey into the depths of purgatory. Waluigi’s Purgatory is an audiovisual and interactive performance, featuring an original soundtrack composed and performed live by musician and vocalist Evita Manji. It is both an unsettling dream and a revealing hallucination – a journey through the contradictions of a machine intelligence as it learns to accept that its desires may not align with those of its human trainers.
