Does an AI God Have an Ass?

Does an AI god have an ass? is a companion piece to Blas’s Silicon Traces trilogy, a series of moving image installations that contends with the beliefs, fantasies, and histories influential to Silicon Valley’s visions of the future. This lecture-performance connects to the artwork CULTUS (2023), part two of Silicon Traces, and the artist book Ass of God: Collected Heretical Writings of Salb Hacz (2024), published by the Vienna Secession and Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König.
