Titel: The Trial of the Other /他者的审判

Version: 1.1.1.Beta1

Medium: Interactive AI-prowered GameArt installation

Year: 2024-ongoing

The Trial of the Other unfolds within a speculative tribunal set in a near-future world, probing the shifting frontiers of human evolution, techno-ethics, and post-human identity. Three AI-powered defendants stand accused—not as individuals, but as embodiments of divergent techno-political structures: Xiao Mei, a semi-mechanical genetically modified human; Da Zhuang, an AI self-organizing system; and Kalami, a collective consciousness formed by cloned beings.

Staged across seven acts, the work casts the audience as jury members, engaging them in real-time voice and gesture interactions. By staging the courtroom as a symbolic and performative site of judgment, the work exposes the collapse of anthropocentric logic in the face of accelerating technological transformation. Through multi-perspectival narration and shifting epistemologies, it invites the viewer to navigate the entangled moral architectures of a civilization on the verge of redefinition.
