A dancer enters the space. The space responds: light, projections, sound, and materials emerge, intensify, overwhelm, and dissolve again, creating an interplay between abundance and emptiness.

In the Christian Western imagination, paradise is defined by fullness and abundance. Technology, and artificial intelligence in particular, repeats this promise: everything is possible. Goods, information, and fantasies are available without limits. Have we reached paradise?

The scientific study “Self-Consuming Generative Models Go MAD” demonstrates how an AI trained on synthetic data can collapse in a self-consuming loop. Are we facing collapse? Do we need emptiness?
