Prompts: Engineering Answers or Fabricating Little Dances

Print with choreographic scores

The prints as exhibited in Something Else III, Cairo Off Biennale, @ stathis doganis, Nov 2023

A print work exploring prompts as choreographic scores, i.e. choreoprompts. The work acts as an invitation to move against prompts’ current burst in the field of AI which cultivates an urge for optimisation, (over)production, and constant delivery. Simultaneously, it acts as an invitation to move towards the relief that derives from doing something practical with no expectations.
