Just a Heads Up for Anyone Seeing Dreamwalker at Orlando Fringe
The show is very heavy on the usage of AI. The images projected throughout the whole thing are all AI generated (badly at that —- the style changes between furry art, hyper realism, anime, computer generated cartoon, and uncanny valley CG people more times than I could count) and the voice over is AI. I would not be surprised if the nonsense story that ties the songs and chants together is also AI.
Normally I have a personal rule about publicly going easy on Fringe shows due to the nature of the event. But there’s something honestly outright against the spirit of the event about using AI tell your story instead of just…relying on human creativity.
The show has kind of a hippie respect the Earth and come together thing going on which cannot be taken seriously with that much AI in it.
Because you’re invited on stage it also makes so you can’t just politely slip out.
Being invited to bang on a big drum was fun, but if you’re deciding between two shows at the same time I’d really give this one a pass
