T.A.P Project 2025 Modern Times

Modern Times is an immersive experience of animated images and sound that sparks childlike wonder. Created by the AI-focused visual arts collective Hello Edo! and the renowned Japanese sound artists Maywa Denki, this performance humorously and satirically responds to Charlie Chaplin’s iconic 1930s masterpiece. What would life look like if the Industrial Revolution and the AI Revolution unfolded simultaneously?

Step into a fantastical machine where the fusion of futuristic and retro sparks childlike wonder! Here, the little blue workers don’t just toil away—they’re rhythm masters, dancing and playing beats, synchronizing the production line with musical scores. In this party, Maywa Denki’s quirky inventions collide with Hello Edo!'s AI generated instruments and robots, enhanced by Dimension Plus's immersive visuals and MR.SKIN’s rhythmic magic, creating a surreal celebration.
