Synopsis:

A full-day programme of screenings, discussion and performance reflecting on Artificial Intelligence and its reshaping of the very essence of relationships. 
 
 

 
 

A New Love: Machines and Love opens with the screening of TRANS-PORT ME by Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, who will then be joined in conversation with artist Kate Cooper, chaired by philosopher Johnny Golding. The panel will explore how AI is being integrated into intimate digital services, offering everything from companionship to counselling, and whether machines can truly replicate, or even enhance, love in the digital age. Infection Drivers by Kate Cooper will be  screened at the end of the talk. 
The evening will conclude with a series of performances reflecting on the week’s programme of talks and screenings, featuring Candela Capitan, Malik Nashad Sharpe, Black Venus in Furs, Joa and a DJ set by Marissa Malik (Manuka Honey).
