On August 27th, Machine Agencies returns to MUTEK Forum for the third year in a row. Marking the culmination of a four-month residency at Milieux, The Monolith is a research-creation project that questions and challenges assumptions about AI and technology.

In an era of rapid digital transformation, The Monolith interrogates human-machine interaction and invites the audience to discuss and reflect on AI’s disruptive potential. Part interactive social experiment, part speculative game, this immersive around the future of AI in the cultural sector. Guided by facilitators from the The Monolith team, participants will test their appreciation of upcoming The Monolith AI’s projects that push the boundaries of creativity and art through technological innovation.

Scholars, artists, technologists, EVERY voices counts.

The Monolith is a project developed by Machine Agencies, produced by Milieux Institute and the Hexagram Network for the MUTEK Forum.
