LILITH.AEON

An interactive walking experience blending extended reality (XR), dance, and artificial intelligence (AI),
LILITH.AEON draws from personal experiences of grief and is inspired by the true story of the youngest person ever cryogenically preserved. This immersive and interactive installation questions the future of humanity in the age of transhumanism and artificial intelligence.
Unfolding across the monumental walls of an LED cube, the installation invites viewers to follow the life cycles of Lilith, a virtual being, a digital and poetic reincarnation, a soul suspended between death and a possible future awakening.
As the audience moves around the work, their gestures trigger choreographic responses from the AI. This creates a dynamic, ever-evolving performance, a dance between human and machine.
Through this emotionally charged experience and a real-time generative narrative, LILITH.AEON explores our evolving relationship with technology, especially in the face of transcending biological mortality. When our flesh-and-spirit selves can be reduced, enhanced, or even replaced by digital data, what becomes of our humanity, and our finitude?
