Join us at the edge.

HALLUCINATE
Where humans
dance with AI.
Where the lens
can become achromatic.
The color of straightjackets
Padded cells
THX1138
HAL interiors
Cold nights in space
Where white becomes
darker than black.
A party at the end of the earth.
While the humans are still on control,
if they ever were.

This mid-winter we'll party with AI.
Can you pass the Turing test as well as the AI will?
42° S, 147° E
What else is happening in Australia and this world of ours in the 2nd half of June?
HALLUCINATE: A BEAUTIFUL, STRANGE, CITYWIDE EXPERIENCE WHILE HUMANS ARE STILL IN CONTROL.
Hobart, Australia will be filled with AI quests, tests to enter nightclubs different from any bouncer experience you've ever had, and AI influenced raves in large buildings near the waterfront. AI projections will cover buildings around the city and unexpected alleyways. AI will interact with you in serendipitous ways. Come to your senses and realize they're filtered. Bring your mind to the southern edge of the Southern Hemisphere and party like it's pre-2000.
*Our AI part of the festival is called, Hallucinate. This follows a definition of human consciousness used by @anilkseth professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience. "Our reality is like a controlled hallucination." Hallucinate has very different layers of meaning...and it's a great name for a beautiful, strange party while humans are still in control.
