autoplay is an encounter between humans and machines. It confronts notions of identity and autonomy, in an era where our lives have become intricately woven into the fabric of a digital landscape. autoplay blends traditional and contemporary learning to navigate a brave new world. Using computers, digital technology, and AI systems autoplay probes the creative possibilities of contemporary performance.
