Misunderstandings by Rocío Berenguer is not your average performance, but a live conference where human and machine meet on equal footing. On stage, Berenguer is joined by her AI colleague Bobby to explore how we have always tried to make sense of the future: through companion stones, medieval prediction tools and even the strange art of speaking “extraterrestrial.”
What starts as a lecture slowly transforms into a playful and thought-provoking journey through our long-standing obsession with forecasting the unknown. Across cultures and centuries, humans have invented countless techniques to tame uncertainty. Today, artificial intelligence disrupts those familiar frameworks. In Misunderstandings, AI becomes both a distorted mirror and a new conversational partner, revealing the limits of our thinking while opening up unexpected ways of relating to what we don’t understand.
Blending performance, storytelling and live interaction with AI, Misunderstandings asks a timely question: how do new “oracular technologies” reshape the way we sense, interpret and imagine the world? Curious, humorous and unsettling at times, the work invites you to sit with uncertainty, and maybe even enjoy it.
