The Heresy Machine world premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2019.
Conceived and created by Dmitri Barcomi & Seth Majnoon, with software design by Robet Salzer.
The Heresy Machine is a queer cyborg love story between visionary mathematician Alan Turing and his computer creation. Computer-generated choreography brings (de)humanzation to light as human and machine grow closer. A new machine-ballet from multimedia artist collective §175. Translating Turing’s groundbreaking work into a theatrical medium by integrating computer programming with choreography, The Heresy Machine explores themes of artificial intelligence, queer love, and body autonomy.
§175 (Section 175) is an international transdisciplinary artist collective based in New York City and Zurich, Switzerland. We are dedicated to creating works of unusual content and design. Pairing theater with technology, sound, and visual media, we draw inspiration from unlikely source materials and shared queer history. Heavily integrating STEM, we are a group of cyborgs working to create postgender posthuman futurity in our time.
