Next Wave Festival - Techne: The Golden Key

“The Golden Key,” by Marc Da Costa and Matthew Niederhauser, immerses visitors in the mythical fantasies of an artificially intelligent machine as it composes a never ending story. The work imagines a future world that has endured the severest impacts of climate change. Winner of the Jury Award in the 2024 SXSW XR Experience competition, “The Golden Key” allows audiences to encounter and intervene in the new narrative and myth-making powers imagined for AI.

TECHNE is a multi-part experiential program comprising four large-scale digital artworks. Created with generative AI, real-time interactive displays, and immersive sound, this program transports viewers into four distinctive new realms, brought to life by visionary creators.

Location: Fishman Space
