A variety show about our future with technology. The future is here, whether we like it or not. Self-driving cars. Talking robots. Self-replicating AI agents with their own missions and crypto wallets. Comedian Shane Mauss and author/professor Athena Aktipis host a variety show exploring our wild AI-infused present through comedy, conversation, and live art. Digital artist Michael Strauss generates visuals in real time and rapper Baba Brinkman goes head-to-head with an AI rapper – programmed by Harmon Leon – in an epic human vs. machine battle. Are we in an inevitable AI apocalypse or is there a win-win future worth building with the machines? One night of comedy, music, and science to figure it out. Free.
