Dream System Sci-fi game

Inspired by the prompt in the last chapter of A People’s Guide to AI zine that asks readers to design libraries, neighborhoods, and  forms of technology in the year 2084, I had the desire to create an opera that could bring this chapter to life through a performance called Automata. Very quickly, I realized that I was not able to construct this future using only my own vision. So I constructed a game called “Dream System” — a two-part game in which participants create AI systems. The imaginary AI systems and stories, which offer a glimpse into the future technologies that people want to see — and in turn have inspired new possibilities for my work.  Automata’s future world will be built with the stories and characters generated by the people who play the game.
