On June 28th, national and international guests came together in the new black building of the Academy for Theatre and Digitality at Dortmund's Digital Port. The evening focused on the topic of artificial intelligence.

What body images does #AI represent and what patriarchal structures underlie this? And how can artificial intelligence be integrated into both dramaturgical and technical processes as a theater collaborator? Berlin-based artist Janne Kummer and the US duo Michael Rau and Michael Yates Crowley addressed these research questions. At the end, the audience was allowed to stand on stage with AI themselves.
