"Machine Folklore" is an audiovisual project initiated by artist Software2050 and co-produced with new media art team NAXS STUDIO.



This project begins with a fictional narrative about an lonely artificial intelligence who feeds on digital data of human civilization. The concept attempts to reinterpret the concept of "human" from the vision of machines and explores the symbiotic relationships between human and non-human life. The performance interprets this ambiguous territory through an abstract form of future audiovisual folklore.
