Trans-Scripted Memory: A Transhumanist Techno-Pop Opera is a three-channel video installation. Trans-Scripted Memory utilizes open-source Artificial Intelligence programs to generate the lyrical backbone of the work. The piece is in two acts that travel through time from the watery primordial beginnings of cyborgs to a period of modernist Romanticism to a speculative cyborg Ian future. This is musically explored by fusion between idioms of classical operatic and techno-pop music, as well as an interplay between AI-generated and human voices. The symbiotic relationship between AI and human creatives suggest transhumanism’s advocation for humanity to conjoin with technology to reach the next phase of human cognition and evolution.
