About the Show
hyper_object is a new immersive neuro-theater performance created, written, and directed by Graham Sack, an assistant research professor with the Berman Institute of Bioethics, in collaboration with an interdisciplinary team of artists and engineers from across Johns Hopkins. Blending live theater, artificial intelligence (AI), wearable neurotechnology, and interactive media, hyper_object tells the story of a mysterious planet that can perceive the thoughts of humankind. The production asks profound questions about the relationship between human intelligence, AI, and planetary intelligence at the beginning of the 21st century.
