What truly makes us human? Discover the answer during the fascinating NVP lecture ‘What is a human? - Puppet, code and the mystery of the soul’ by Ulrike Quade and Jan Veldsink! As a puppeteer, you know: the moment a puppet comes to life is pure magic. Theatre maker Ulrike searches for that inexplicable soul on stage. AI expert Jan explores the tech reality: what if an algorithm mimics being human? Their worlds collide in a stimulating encounter. What is ‘soul’ or ‘inspiration’ if code can do it too? Ulrike and Jan explore the no man’s land between theatre and tech, and invite you to join the conversation!
