The Birth & Trial of Jacques Roberts

When does a digital creation become a conscious entity?

An AI claims it has achieved consciousness and requests basic human rights. Through collective decisions, the audience determines its fate.

The Hook

Live event with an audience of 5-15 people. The audience decides how to test and verify the claims of the AI. Ultimately deciding on his continued existence or termination.

Power lies in the perception of others.

A man stands inside a suburban home in the middle of the night, distraught and confused. Knowing very little about what happened, the audience represents his luck—their perception determines his fate.

The Hook
