"Answering Machines" is an exploration of loneliness, desperation, and disconnection in the digital world. Through contemporary movement, the dancers represent the human desire for community despite the overpowering pull of fabricated connection online. When using AI, we rob ourselves of connection, of human interaction, and are instead faced with a distorted mirror of ourselves and what we want to hear. In doing so, we become increasingly aggressive to those who disagree with us. We combat this culture as dancers, as we only exist in the physical sense. This work explores the sinuous connection to the human spirit despite the anger that our world perpetuates.
