Cai Guo-Qiang’s fireworks show at PST Art was both mesmerizing and disconcerting, illustrating the complex relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence through explosive art.
During the show, Cai narrated a story of AI, using a program that translated his Chinese into English, while explosive visuals left some audience members seeking cover.
The fireworks, described as 'Birds of Paradise', were striking, but the finale, labeled 'Part V: Divine Wrath', evoked concerns about its violent imagery and historical context.
The event raised questions about audience preparedness for the noise and visual intensity, especially given its location in a community with a complex history.
