Walking The Dog is a performance that portrays a playful approach to human machine interaction. The artwork comes to life in symbiosis with the artist, and despite an underlying sense of melancholy, it raises questions about the deeper dynamics within this relationship, much like the complexity of interactions with Artificial Intelligence (AI). This, together with the uncertain success or failure of the symbiosis, creates a compelling tension. Walking The Dog invites the audience to reflect on the subtle dynamics between human and machine, artist and creation.
