RBO/Shift Festival : Sensorium Ex


  • Royal Opera House (map)

Composer Paola Prestini and a group of advanced technologists have exploited AI to enable non-vocal and other performers to have a voice, leveraging the power of AI for artistic access and possibility.

Created by Prestini and librettist Brenda Shaughnessy and directed by Jay Scheib, the narrative of Sensorium Ex is a dystopian sci-fi tale that explores the intersection of corporate greed, artificial intelligence and the fundamental nature of the human voice. Set in a future dominated by a global entity known as 'CORP,' the story revolves around the struggle for agency and the definition of humanity. Co-created with Jerron Herman. Commissioned by VisionIntoArt in association with Beth Morrison Projects, and Common Senses Festival. Developed and Produced by VisionIntoArt and Beth Morrison Projects.
