The AI, an actress of a theatre that touches the heart<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In the Taiwanese art scene at the National Central University, the I-bridity project offers an unprecedented fusion between theatre, cathartic emotions and artificial intelligence, offering an original perspective on the contemporary human condition.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After taking part in the groundbreaking artistic project Le Songe d’une M\u00e9lang\u00e8re apprivois\u00e9e<\/em>, a group of Taiwanese students from the National Central University<\/strong> (NCU Taiwan<\/a>) in Taoyuan, a city in northern Taiwan<\/strong>, shared, through interviews, the emotions<\/strong> aroused by this theatrical work co-created with AI. AI has now established itself as a tool capable of generating deep emotions, transforming theater into a space where human and machine meet to question our relationship with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le songe d’une M\u00e9lang\u00e8re apprivois\u00e9e <\/em>is a hybrid theatrical project based on the idea of mixing and interacting between different disciplines and cultures. By reinterpreting Shakespeare’s classics A Midsummer Night’s Dream <\/em>and The Taming of the Shrew<\/em>, as well as Ionesco’s Rhinoceros<\/em>, thirteen Taiwanese students from the National Central University (NCU) took part in an artistic project combining theater and technology<\/strong>. The play, performed on Friday June 14 as part of the \u00ab\u00a0<\/em>Artificial Intelligence and Optical Art\u00a0\u00bb course, brought together students from a variety of disciplines (sciences, humanities, arts) under the direction of Chii-Chang Chen from NCU’s optics-phonotics department and Nicolas Drouet, a French professor at the same university. The play creates a dialogue<\/strong> between human and machine, reality and virtuality. The main character, M\u00e9lang\u00e8re, embodies this struggle for identity in a world where boundaries are blurred, and where AI and algorithms are becoming an inescapable part of our daily lives. This project explores the role of artificial intelligence in artistic creation, using digital tools to generate visual and sound<\/strong> content while integrating classical theatrical practices. The intercultural aspect of the project is also central, as it unfolds within a trilingual <\/strong>framework (Mandarin, French and English), which has enriched the creative process and opened up innovative perspectives on translation and adaptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s more, artificial intelligence, far beyond its technical capabilities, is now establishing itself as a tool capable of arousing deep emotions, transforming the theater into a space where humans and machines collaborate to question our relationship with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI in art, a vector of authentic emotions…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Le songe d’une M\u00e9lang\u00e8re apprivois\u00e9e <\/em>project marks an unprecedented step in the educational and artistic landscape : it is the first Franco-Taiwanese educational project<\/strong> to use artificial intelligence as a creative tool. This innovative partnership<\/strong> between students and teachers from both cultures puts AI at the heart of artistic reflection<\/strong> and production<\/strong>. In this piece, artificial intelligence is not only a subject of exploration, but also a source of creation. Indeed, part of the text was written by an AI, which was also used to generate images projected during the performance. These elements, piece by piece, build the atmosphere and the visual framework: technology is thus able to give an artistic and emotional dimension<\/strong> to the play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the play’s text embodies a certain irony : it expresses anguish at the growing impact of artificial intelligences, even though it was itself partly created by an AI. As in the excerpt: \u00ab\u00a0Isn’t the human being still under threat? What about new technologies? Loss of jobs, increased surveillance, social alienation, technological dependence, loss of control, manipulation of information, dehumanization of services, loss of human skills, existential risk for humanity…\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>. This paradox feeds into a broader reflection on the relationship between humans and technology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond its technical prowess, AI is becoming a tool for exploring human concerns in the face of technological acceleration. It acts as a mirror for our collective anxieties, making palpable universal emotions<\/strong> such as beauty, curiosity and anxiety in the face of the unknown. This approach gives the piece a cathartic dimension, inviting spectators to engage in an inner dialogue<\/strong> about the future of our world and the role artificial intelligence plays in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Franco-Taiwanese educational and artistic project opens the way to new ways of integrating digital tools into artistic practices<\/strong>. But Le songe d’une M\u00e9lang\u00e8re apprivois\u00e9e <\/em>doesn’t just question the impact of AI on everyday life: it offers an immersive and emotional experience, defining our relationship to art, technology and the human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dual use highlights a major development : AI is no longer limited to producing static texts or images. It is now capable of generating deep emotions, one might even say human emotions, captivating audiences and confronting them with new feelings, ranging from admiration to unease<\/strong>. The joint work of artists and AI offers forms of expression never before seen in the theater. The images created by the machine, oscillating between the familiar and the strange, captivate the spectator and elicit immediate reactions<\/strong>, whether of wonder or disquiet. Among these images, the students took their own photos and searched for rhinoceros<\/strong> pictures, which they then combined using the AI application Artbreeder<\/a>. To enrich their project, they also created videos using Runway and Pika<\/strong> tools, integrating different technologies to produce unique visuals tailored to the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
