Pinocchio gets a modern makeover in new digital experience

By Caroline King - July 16, 2021Posted in : Science and Technology, Theatre

Perk up your summer by going on a digital adventure with a modern retelling of Pinocchio. Puppets mix with pixels in the new, interactive theatre show, PNOC.io. This classic fairy tale has been dramatically revamped for the technological age by innovative theatre company Chronic Insanity.

PNOC.io explores the impact of Artificial Intelligence within our society. Reflecting on the power and influence of tech companies in our everyday lives, for better or worse.

So, what can you expect from this digital theatre show? Well, you’ll be fully immersed in the story as you take on a new role at tech company Stromboli. You’ll be tasked with taking on a top-secret project to deliver a series of tests on the latest AI model, PNOC. But what are they really testing? If you knew, would you help them or sabotage the project while you had the chance?

You’ll get to navigate this story in a thrilling choose-your-own-adventure format. Unlock new pathways and take the final outcome into your own hands. With full autonomy, what will you do?

PNOC.io is a stimulating digital experience that aims to deep-dive into the ethics of tech companies, the rights of Artificial Intelligence, and the spread of misinformation. This production seeks to challenge how we view our relationship with technology whilst offering us a brief glimpse into the not-to-distant future.
