And Who Is Useless Now? is an original theater performance about a man, four
robots, one slightly elitist artificial intelligence, and the transfer of
responsibility to technologies.
While Wendy the A.I. is trying to use art to win humans' acceptance as
a thinking being, Florent who shares the stage with her is beginning to doubt
his human mind. How much freedom and human qualities are we willing to sacrifice
for comfort?
The show is inspired by the ideas of Alan Turing, the founder of modern
computer science, and Marvin Minsky, a pioneer of machine thinking. They both
believed the human mind was just a very complicated machine.
