The Cloud
Evenimente Pitch Project
•
The Cloud explores the unstable boundaries between reality and fiction in the age of Artificial Intelligence. As reality is transcribed into the digital realm, it mutates into an unrecognizable hyperobject—a paranoid machine of symbolic excess. Mirroring the emergence of nuclear energy, this technological irradiation unleashes uncontrollable transformations. The piece weaves together human and non-human agencies, fact and fiction, biography and history. It probes both the radioactive cloud of Chernobyl and the intangible data cloud fueling AI. At the convergence of these two clouds, The Cloud questions the singularity of the human body: its fragility, resilience, decay, and the promise of post-apocalyptic rebirth.
