Tulpamancer

"Tulpamancer" explores how the intersection of generative AI and VR can shape new ways of encountering ourselves. Sitting down at a computer terminal, participants first encounter the tulpa through a series of questions about their lives. They are then invited to meet in a world prepared uniquely for them in VR by the tulpa, embarking on a journey through a series of uniquely generated scenes that evoke and question the memories of their past and potential fates. These uniquely generated experiences are destroyed at the end, left only to resonate in the minds of each participant. Presented by Deloitte. Powered by Onassis ONX Studio
