Just in time for the election, ATLAS DRUGGED (Tools for Tomorrow) is a playful analysis of both the current moment, in which AI-generated “evidence” influences much of what we think and feel, and also a speculation about a near future where candidates themselves are as engineered as their messages. We witness Silicon Valley’s creation of an AI-inflected candidate based on the free-market, alt-right teachings of Ayn Rand, and we tune our candidate to our audience, engineering and testing new campaigning strategies and multiple strains of political “messaging.”
A running game show—Propaganda!—punctuates the evening, where audience members themselves must test their strength against political manipulations past, present and future. Step right up!
