CiÖ_Echos
Immerse yourself in the emotional world of CiÖ, an intelligent machine located across three venues in Montreal, where conversations with it will transform your relationship with your emotions.
Overview
Information
CiÖ is an immersive and interactive experience exploring the theme of mental health through the dystopian world of an emotional AI. A human-machine dialogue unfolds, centered on sharing emotions and discovering the other.
By interconnecting various devices with a conversational application, the work gives tangible form to the AI's emotions through visual environments, lighting, and soundscapes. This multisensory language invites the audience to engage in an intimate and compelling experience of introspection and emotional connection.
Presented as a multi-site interactive exhibition, CiÖ_Echos unfolds its various iterations across several physical locations as well as online. This constellation-based setup allows for a fragmented yet connected exploration of the work, with each site revealing a unique aspect of CiÖ's emotional universe.
