“THE CONVERSATION” brings together Marina Abramović, her AI counterpart, and curator Hans Ulrich Obrist in a triangular installation- a dialogue between human artist, artificial voice and human curator. This work invites the audience to reflect on the nature of these distrinct yet intertwined forms, and how they may illuminate and expand one another. By removing the AI’s visual form, the piece reduces it to pure voice-disembodied, inmaterial-echoing Abramović’s enduring exploration of presence beyond the limits of the physical body.

The Conversation was created by Hans Ulrich Obrist & Marina Abramović together with Primavera De Filippi, Apolinario Passos and Marco Conti Šikić (members of the Glitch Collective) in partnership with Tavus, Hugging Face and Alien Intelligence.

Commissioned by SXSWLondon, curated by Alex Poots and produced by Noth Star Studio.
