OperationSéance: Purifying the AI Spirits in Latent Space Salon
In collaboration with Niwit Lertsawaengkit, with Live Haircut
In an age where AI concentrates power, distorts memory, deepens surveillance, and now guides weapons, is it not time to enter the salon and purify the spirits?
Two performers enter the latent salon: a space inside AI where spirits made of fragments of human culture whisper to each other. Where once humans gathered to exchange ideas, now it is the (artificial?) spirits who attempt the conversation.
A live haircut becomes the séance opening — gestures turn to sound, sounds enter the machine, while a lecture narrates alongside the ritual. Lecture and ritual arrive as one breath, until words dissolve entirely into immersive sound and image, and the purification begins.
