Theatre director Natalia Korczakowska (STUDIO theatergallery, Warsaw) invites you to participate in the first stages of reconstructing a momentous GO match as a brand-new theatre piece.

In 2016, millions of people across the globe witnessed the historic defeat of former ‘Go’ world champion Lee Sedol (9 Dan Rank) from South Korea, by AI powered computer programme AlphaGo from Google DeepMind, London. The win signified a major shift in the sophistication of Artificial Intelligence, raising questions around humanity’s ability to retain dominance over the rapid evolution of technology. 

In collaboration with a creative team of artists and specialists across the fields of Science, Tech and AI, this Open Research Day will reimagine this showdown of Human vs. Machine as a theatrical ritual, interrogating the relationship between AI, society and art.

Open Research is a strand of support for artists to explore projects creatively with a public audience as part of their making process.
