Palladium
In Palladium, Kinetech Arts invites the audience to curate their own experience. This site-specific work transforms the ODC Annex into an immersive environment with interactive video and dance performances, time-warping projections, live soundscapes, and AI-generated scores — all inspired by the complex and evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. Through Palladium, we explore questions surrounding safety, deception, identity, progress, and agency.
