    Event description

    Replica School concludes on November 7 with Model Collapse, a slow drift through some sundry spaces of the University, where performances, lectures, improvisations and interventions unfold over the course of the day in basements, hallways, libraries, and lecture rooms. This is a school within a school, a parasite within a parasite. You will not find classes managed by overwrought content management systems that drain the life force out of ideas. You will probably find: 

      • An introduction to a video essay on humans, dogs, AI and the multitudes they contain, by Sophie Penkethman-Young
      • A skilled hand, a cultivated mind. Short songs about hands, performed to a sculpture of a hand, by Jenny Hickinbotham.
      • Dada-mined, hardcore prompt engineering with a drill, in RMIT library by Ceri Hann. A hole-istic approach.
      • A possible score for university photocopiers and model ferrari by by Marcus McKenzie.
      • A pitch deck presentation for mob.io, Indigenous startup, by artist entrepreneur CEO Joel Sherwood Spring.
      • Roslyn Orlando's polyvocal essay in the University’s Council Chambers, tracing a speculative history of large language models.
      • Composer James Rushford performance of Austrian genius Gerhard Rühm's 'tone poems' on the RMIT student lounge piano.
      • Catherine Ryan's Two Body Problem, a new experimental lecture-performance that asks what if we had not one, but two bodies.
      • Plus, Readings and writings of replicas by members of 'cheerleading is without spirit'. 

    And more. End.
