“I see the awakening of consciousness as a series of spaced flashes, with the intervals between them gradually diminishing until bright blocks of perception are formed, affording memory a slippery hold.” Vladimir Nabokov
A collaboration between choreographer Alexander Whitley and visual artist Memo Akten. Pattern Recognition is a performance for two dancers and light, exploring themes of learning, memory, representation and (rcognition. The piece explores these themes not only artistically and choreographically, but also in the underlying technology driving it, based on artificial intelligence and machine learning. Explored in both a human context, and a machine context, each approach informing the other.
