Consensus Gentium
by Karen Palmer
A research & development project engaging international thought leaders into think tanks where they explore a future world where people are resisting weaponised technology and bias algorithms in favour of AI Democratisation. This collaborative process aided the Artist to develop three short immersive film scripts. The global experts ranged from Neuroscientists, Parkour Athletes, Wellbeing Practitioners, Worldbuilders, Technologists, Sound Designers, as well as four international Activists from the USA, Hong Kong, The Congo and The Netherlands.
One of the scripts then went into production using eye tracking technology to make users conscious of their unconscious behaviour. Consensus Gentium had its international premiere at SXSW in March 2023 and won the best XR experience at the festival. It had its London premiere at Roundhouse in the same year.
Tuyet was the Producer and worked closely with the artist in sourcing the funding for the project. The project was successfully funded by the British Film Institute where Tuyet completed the R&D phase as well as the first film which is currently doing the festival circuits 2023.
