The Artist vs AI

Produced by Jack Michael Carr

Jack Michael Carr is a theatre-maker interested in exploring play and the uncanny. In their work Jack would like to offer a space that asks challenging questions about being human and why we act in certain ways, examining the systems in society. Play and being silly are important to Jack even when serious themes arise, believing too much seriousness gets in the way of real political and environmental progress. As well as their 3 years at Wimbledon College of Arts in Contemporary Theatre, they studied the additional year Creative Computing at UAL, Camberwell. In their spare time Jack loves cooking, trying to play any instrument they can get their hands on and spending time with loved ones.
