BEMYGUEST!
... return of the Parasite ︎︎︎︎︎
Be My Guest! is a collective mixed-reality dinner event hosted by AI. The installation rethinks an age-old gathering ritual: a dinner with friends, where an AI, named Parasite, becomes the host and co-creator of the spatial experience and physical objects. The collective dinner transforms the private setting of home into a public domain, mirroring our current condition of dwelling in multiple realities and investigating how we inhabit and interact within networked virtual spaces, and how we foster parasitic relationships with AI systems, redefining the fabric of communal gathering in the digital age.
