Gnirut Test is
an audiovisual performance that deals with our techno machinic
evolution, driven by more and more powerfull digital tools and
networks.
It starts from the life of
Alan Turing, considered to be the father of
modern computer science, of the concept of the algorithm and
computation with the Turing machine, breaker of the Enigma machine
during 2nd war and inventor of the "Turing Test". What would be today's
computer if Alan Turing hadn't commited a sucide eating an
apple full of cyanure ?
Some
scientists predict we will reach the technological singularity
before 2030, more or less at the same time as the possibility to
connect human brain to a digital network. What will the intelligence of
thoose future computers will be fed with ? Maybe by what we already
upload and share on internet : source codes, cultural experiences threw
multimedia portals, knowledges, ...
In parallel, we can consider what drives our behavior today, in which
way we become biological
machines connected to network, and which
political and occult forces feed the way we perceive our environnement,
in a predetermined or deterministic way ?
The performance is composed of several parts realised in real
time (with Pure Data and other open
source softwares) that go threw raw code used as audiovisual material,
perception of our environnement threw different sensors (EM VLF to Ghz,
infrared light, ultrasound, bio activity), web bots and audiovisual
documents linked to the "c~]°^°]~e" theory
