Announcing "Fatherboard,"and the "Big Sieve"

Announcing "Fatherboard, the Superavatar" and the "Big Sieve" Theory

In occasion of the "Tomorrow now - FastForum. Riflessioni a confronto su arte e nuovi media" (http://www.bevilacqualamasa.it/archivio/2007_Tito_1313/pagina.html) held in Venice in December 2007, in the Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa (http://www.bevilacqualamasa.it/) I announced both the writing of "Big Sieve" Theory and the cyborg/similar "Fatherboard, the Superavatar" Performance (and for this last one I took in Venice a former test made on a shirt).

The "Big Sieve" Theory regards the privacy risks in IT societies, and, in particular, the analysis of the intersection of the potentialities of the new Artificial Intelligence Paradigms and the new techniques of Data Collection.

"Fatherboard, the Superavatar" is the story of an avatar that - escaping from the virtual worlds (or from the computer generally speaking) gets a physical shape.

The story is a psychological portrait of new IT societies made in a Cabaret way where Fatherboard steps in to the "real world" and starts interelating with the human beings (the audience).
The essence of its dialog with humans is to be found in the idea of a confrontation between the "artificial" intelligences and the ones of their creators.
The whole show is theoretically based on the concepts expressed in the Polymorphyc Intelligence theory
