Film Description:
Set 60 years in the future, Silent Supper by artist Milena ZeVu unfolds as an evocative 10-minute video work. Born as a live recording of a performance the artist carried out on July 3rd 2023, the project explores the implications of advanced Artificial Intelligence on human existence. The represented year is 2084, and the video focuses on the depiction of a dining table. The artist appears in a choral action surrounded by 11 performers who, along with her, participate in a dinner, remaining completely silent throughout.
At the centre of ZeVu’s inquiry lies a reflection on advanced technology and its role in human relationships. Despite the artist supporting the development of technologies such as AI and recognizing their positive values, she is equally concerned about the unregulated implementation and potential impact on human creativity, values, economic and spiritual well-being, and our overall sense of purpose.
