Automating Empathy - Can Machines Replace Artistic Performers?

In this keynote, artist, researcher, and robotic musician Moritz Simon Geist explores whether machines can convey emotions on stage like humans, and what that means for arts and culture.

While algorithms now help create art, the emotional power of live performance in music and theater still belongs to people. But for how long?

Moritz examines the history of non-human performance from early animatronics to modern robotic ensembles, highlighting how agency and skill shape audience connection.
