Preview documentary film: https://vimeo.com/925210197
Driven by AI and audience interaction, LILITH.AEON is a ground-breaking XR dance touring production exploring future humanity.
The narrative of LILITH.AEON is inspired by transhumanism and the real-life story of the youngest cryogenised person and it questions our potential future life cycle and the transformation from physical being to data.
It is a durational immersive performative installation where the story unfolds on a large LED cube as a direct result of the character’s real-time interaction with the audience made possible by seamless use of the cutting-edge technologies like Unreal Engine, motion capture, AI, Machine Learning and 3D animation.
