“A CYBER-FI FEVER DREAM”
Flexing an extensive body of work spanning three decades, Finnish-born artist and actor Antero Alli has frequently explored the bleeding edge of technological paranoia. Beginning with his stark predictions for 2023 in 1995’s THE DRIVETIME, expanding into “video poems” and experimental theater, and finally culminating in his return to 2023 with the AI and VR warnings of BLUE FIRE. Throughout his career, Alli has never been afraid of putting his personal mindscape in front of an audience. We invite you to join us for the New York premiere of his latest Cyber-Fi masterpiece, BLUE FIRE followed by a remote Q&A session with the director. Moderated by Philip Ginley.
“An elite A.I.coder faces a head-on collision between the algorithms of the VR worlds he’s creating and the archetypal dimensions of the greater Collective Unconscious.”
