The interdisciplinary project AI_am explores how artificial intelligence (AI) and contemporary dance can inform and advance each other. The project has resulted in the interactive installation Kinetic Dialogues (exhibited at Centro Cultural Borges in Buenos Aires in conjunction with the conference IJCAI-15) as well as the evening-length show AI am here (performed at Trafo House of Contemporary Arts, Budapest, 3:e Våningen, Gothenburg, 2017).
