Pratima: Singularity and Beyond, ACP

Sunday March 29, 2026
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Our Winter 2026 Artist-in-Residence Nisha Pradeep’s residency will culminate in a live performance, bridging ancient tradition and futuristic inquiry through the accessible and emotive language of dance. A guided discussion with the audience will follow. This dance contrasts humanity’s organic, multi-millennial evolution with the rapid, exponential growth of synthetic intelligence. Through expressive storytelling (Abhinaya) and intricate rhythmic structures, the work investigates the philosophical threshold known as the Singularity — the point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human capability — and the emergence of superintelligence. At its core, the project asks a timely and essential question: what does it mean to be human in an era of sentient machines?
