Abstract
- The Prophecies is an AI-based chamber opera with interactive features in which the visitors are immersed in a ritualistic and temple-like setting where they can meet a singing oracle who instead of appearing to be connected to ancient divinities receives messages from the digital realm. The underlying theme of the opera is the eternal human search for guidance and our hope for help from external and mythological forces. Through the work, a playful approach to the subject is suggested while the concept also makes room for critical reflection on the topic and the exposed mechanisms of human nature. Developed from the creators' earlier work with the prototypical opera The Oracle, the concept design encompasses elaborated verbal, audial, and visual material, including an AI-agent trained to respond in the style of the Delphic oracle while still being compatible with the contemporary music composition at hand. By offering personalized prophecies to each individual visitor facing the oracle alone through the dynamics achieved by human-machine interaction, articulate subjective experiences are made possible through the opera.
