Deep(Artist)Talking explores the nature of deliberate mistakes in feedback systems to arrive at divergent solutions. In this live collaborative performance, a bot constantly listens, eavesdrops, and responds to humans, using imperfect machine learning techniques to reinterpret spoken words. Errors in the model help generate new and unpredictable narratives that loop back into its algorithms. Humans and machines will together create a broken conversation, a continuous poem flowing between the personal and the mechanical. Following the performance, Tiri will engage in conversation and Q&A moderated by SAM curators Chanon Kenji Praepipatmongkol and Syaheedah Iskandar. Deep(Artist)Talking asks: can we, humans and machines, learn and evolve from each other.ABOUT THE ARTISTBangkok-born, New York-based Tiri Kananuruk is a performance artist and researcher.

But what does it mean to become "smarter"? To what ends are new technical skills being pursued?  This series of talks, workshops, and performances will elaborate on the valences of "intelligence" that issue from minor histories. What is the transformative potential of technology in relation to marginalized sounds, accents, bodies, and knowledges? What might culturally-situated AI look or sound like? What role does error, glitching, and failure play in mapping the unruly terrain between physical and digital presence? What about artistic engagements with social media and popular culture?  Tiri Kananurak’s performance-lecture marks the launch of Skill Futures.
