Cyborgs for Rebellion (audio test 3)

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Cyborgs for Rebellion is an infinitely rotating series of poetry-reading, three-dimensional portraits projected onto the trees of Joseph Bryan Park, where participants in Gabriel’s Rebellion gathered 222 years ago. The portraits stem from artificial intelligence trained on images of Gabriel Prosser, Nat Turner, John Brown, and other Virginia slave rebellion instigators, as well as robots from acclaimed science fiction films. Historical documents quoting the participants of the rebellions, and “Kindred,” Octavia E. Butler’s 1979 novel of time-travel to a slave plantation, are the sources for the poems.
