A Performance Co-Created with an Autonomous Virtual System: A Symbiotic Approach

This paper is a case study of a performance co-created in interaction with an autonomous virtual system. Our outcomes point to an essential production period where the creative team learns to know the virtual system through indirect interactions: the match-up phase. During this step, co-creation and co-evolution moments happened, indicating a possible symbiotic relationship. We discuss the implications and the outcomes of working with autonomous scenography in a performative context. We then expand the reflection to the potential creative associations between performance arts and autonomous technology.
