Media Mothership is embarking upon experiments with Radio Drama scripts to generate new, transformed scripts and audio dramas. Through the use of ai chatbots, human editing and further human criticism, commentary and research we will be testing the limits and absurdities of hybrid ai-human storytelling.
Part one of the project aims to:
Explore how ai chatbots can generate texts that challenge the assumptions and values associated with modernism, such as objective reality, rationality, progress, and originality.
Use postmodern theory as a framework to analyse and critique the texts generated by ai chatbots, as well as the process of generating them.
Apply the concepts of deconstruction, power, knowledge, and incredulity toward metanarratives from key postmodern theorists such as Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Jean-François Lyotard to the texts generated by ai chatbots.
