Copyright Oliver Sch\u00fcrer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Introspection-Performance <\/strong><br><strong>&#8220;The Robot is Present&#8221;<\/strong><br>What do you feel when you experiene the presence of an artifact? Can a robot or an artificial intelligence actually have presence? The performance The robot is present questions not only the materially perceptible existence of technical-machinic things, but also the possibilities and impossibilities to perceive their presence.<br> The piece refers to the legendary performance <em>The Artist is Present<\/em> by Marina Abramovi\u0107 at the MOMA, in which the artist presented herself as an exhibit.<br> <em>The Robot Is Present<\/em> inverts the performance of Abramovi\u0107 in several ways: from a museum&#8217;s white cube to the sub stage of a theater; from being see while waiting for the performance to a labyrinthine walk for two that tells the story of the pathway; from the sensation of the presence of the ingenious artist to the question of the presence of an AI-controlled robot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This T.R.I.P. (<em>The Robot Is Present<\/em>) leads as much\ninto the spatial depths of the machine Volkstheater, as in the depths of our\nrelations to technologies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Experience of introspection and space<\/strong><br>Every 10 minutes one walks from thetheaters reception, together with a collaborator, through labyrinthine corridors down to the basement of the Volkstheater in the large sub-stage. On the way into the depth one gets the background of the performance told. There, in the midst of props and equipment, visitors encounter the humanoid robot \u2013 to experience presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors take a seat opposite the robot. They watch it and\nare watched by it. While looking at the human-shaped machine, they may notice\nthat they are sitting opposite a mirror that invites to introspection as it\nthrows back questions: Do I feel presence? Whose presence? Can the humanoid\nrobot or its artificial intelligence actually possess, radiate or at least\nconvey presence? What part of my feeling has my counterpart, which one do I\nhave?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In times when presence is almost fetishized, the performance\nasks about the possibilities of a technically reproduced presence. Is it, as\nthe philosopher Jaques Derrida has written, that any kind of presence is always\nalready merely mediated, hence represented? The performance offers the\npossibility to explore these questions as easily as directly, to experience the\npossibilities and limitations of presence itself.<br>\nThen, accompanied by a collaborator, you climb up from the sparsely lit lower\nstage through the labyrinth of aisles to a cloakroom.\n\nHere you are invited to speak with the philosopher of\ntechnology, Christoph Hubatschke, about your experience, to inform yourselves\nor to discuss the performance. Does the reflection on the encounter with the\nrobot change the view of the possibilities and impossibilities of a technically\nmediated presence? What do we really mean when we speak of presence? How did\nthis unusual encounter with a robot change or amplify your idea of robotics?<br>\nA collaborator will then bring you back to the reception.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Introspektions-Performance <\/strong><br><strong>&#8220;The Robot is Present&#8221;<\/strong><br>Fr. 31.5., 13-14:45 im Volkstheater Vienna, festival &#8220;#digitalnatives19&#8221; <br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.volkstheater.at\/stueck\/the-robot-is-present\/\">www.volkstheater.at\/stueck\/the-robot-is-present\/<\/a><br> Kann ein Roboter oder eine AI tats\u00e4chlich Pr\u00e4senz haben?

Am\nWeg in die Tiefe bekommt man die Hintergr\u00fcnde der Performance erz\u00e4hlt. Dort,\ninmitten von Requisiten und Anlagen treffen BesucherInnen auf den humanoiden\nRoboter &#8211; zur Erfahrung von Pr\u00e4senz. BesucherInnen nehmen gegen\u00fcber dem Roboter\nPlatz. Sie beobachten ihn und werden von ihm beobachtet. W\u00e4hrend sie die\nmenschgeformte Maschine ansehen, bemerken sie wom\u00f6glich, dass sie einem Spiegel\ngegen\u00fcbersitzen, der Fragen zur\u00fcckwirft. Empfinde ich Pr\u00e4senz? Wessen Pr\u00e4senz?\nKann der humanoide Roboter oder seine k\u00fcnstliche Intelligenz tats\u00e4chlich\nPr\u00e4senz besitzen, ausstrahlen oder zumindest vermitteln? Welchen Anteil an\nmeiner Empfindung hat mein Gegen\u00fcber, welchen habe ich?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Zeiten\nin denen Pr\u00e4senz nahezu fetischisiert wird, fragt die Performance nach den\nM\u00f6glichkeiten einer technisch reproduzierten Pr\u00e4senz. Ist, wie der Philosoph\nJaques Derrida meinte, nicht immer schon jede Art von Pr\u00e4senz lediglich\nvermittelt, repr\u00e4sentiert? Die Performance bietet die M\u00f6glichkeit so einfach\nwie direkt diese Fragen selbst auszuloten, die M\u00f6glichkeiten und Grenzen von\nPr\u00e4senz selbst zu erleben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Danach, begleitet\nvon einem Mitarbeiter, steigen Sie aus der sp\u00e4rlich beleuchteten Unterb\u00fchne im\nLabyrinth der G\u00e4nge nach oben in eine Garderobe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hier sind\nSie eingeladen mit dem Technikphilosophen Christoph Hubatschke \u00fcber ihre\nErfahrung zu sprechen, sich zu informieren oder die Performance zu diskutieren.\nVer\u00e4ndert die Reflexion \u00fcber die Begegnung mit dem Roboter die Sicht auf die\nM\u00f6glichkeiten und Unm\u00f6glichkeiten von technisch vermittelter Pr\u00e4senz?
