The Fables of Machines. Performance by Unmake Lab

Unmake Lab’s lecture performance The Fables of Machines begins with an encounter with a group of taxidermied tigers that had long been kept in the storage room of a science museum. Using these tigers as a starting point, the artists bring together two technologies: taxidermy and artificial intelligence. One reconstructs the image of life through the skin of a dead animal, while the other generates animal portraits by extracting patterns from data.
