Tiffany Trenda will be performing Body Code at 13:00. Body Code is an artistic exploration of the relationship between the human body and data in the digital age. For more than a decade, the Body Code project has remained a dynamic and continuously evolving performance piece, adapting to shifts in the ever-changing Internet. In the context of ARS, the artist will employ ChatGPT to engage in a dialogue with the AI program, delving into inquiries regarding the human body and the impact of artificial intelligence on it. The intention is to contemplate how, in the era of abundant online data, we can reestablish a meaningful connection with our own bodies and the world around us. Can AI be a reliable source of information about the body, or does it possess the potential to propagate falsehoods, at times resembling a mere tape recorder parroting inaccurate data? Ultimately, this raises the fundamental question: Where does the truth about the human body lie, and who wields the authority over it?

The theme of Ars Electronica in 2023, this year formulated as a question, aims directly at key disputed topics of our time: truth and ownership, interpretive authority and sovereignty. Can truth be owned? Is there a right to truth and if it does belong to someone, what control and responsibility are associated with it?
