CHOM5KY vs CHOMSKY created by Sandra Rodriguez. A co-production of the National Film Board of Canada and SCHNELLE BUNTE BILDER, with support from Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.
Guided by a virtual host, inspired and built on the digital traces of renowned linguist Noam Chomsky, this multi-user collaborative experience allows users to examine the promises and pitfalls of AI in a fun and engaging way.
Since all of these topics are very close to our heart, creating immersive sound and interactive sound design for the piece was a real passion project. The piece debuted in November 2022 in Berlin and is since touring the world.
An exploration of the human capacity for creativity, inquiry and collaboration, CHOM5KY vs CHOMSKY reveals how little we know about the human mind.
