System Fatal is a cross-disciplinary performance curated by Alice Scope, drawing from Shannon Vallor's essay "The Danger of Superhuman AI Is Not What You Think," which you can read here: noemamag.com/the-danger-of-superhuman-ai-is-not-what-you-think

The performance explores Vallor's central thesis: Why do we insist on using “superhuman” to describe something that inherently isn’t?

Featuring multimodal artist Portrait XO alongside movement artists Jas Lin, Layne Paradis Willis, Keilan Stafford and Hope Spears, the performance engaged with the essay through nature mapping, choreography and sonic deconstruction of computational logics.

Originally debuted on May 4th, 2025 in Beverly Hills, the work was commissioned for a celebration of Noema's fifth anniversary.
