Computer Lars
Synthetic Summit
–

Featuring a unifying ‘summit scenography’, performance art and computer sculptures, Synthetic Summit transforms Kunsthal Aarhus’s Gallery 1 into a stage for generic parliamentarianism and cacophonous conference negotiations. The exhibition addresses the global discussion about the role of AI in society, rewriting the politics and principles underpinning the frameworks of modern democracy. Through regular live performances, Synthetic Summit and Kunsthal Aarhus invite the public and policymakers to experience an international line-up of leading AI parties and virtual politicians.

Participants:
1. The Australian AI Party (Triage Live Art Collective)
2. The Finnish AI Party (The Center for Everything)
3. The Japanese AI Party (AI Mayor)
4. Politician SAM (New Zealand, by Parker Politics
5. Simiyya (SWANA-region)
6. The Swedish AI Party (Bombina Bombast)
7. The Synthetic Party (Denmark, Computer Lars)
8. Wiktoria Cukt 2.0 (Poland, Central Office of Technical Culture)
