What do puppeteers mean when they speak about bringing a puppet ‘to life’? What is the difference between a prop and a puppet? Why do these questions matter not only in the creative arts but also in the study of how artificial intelligence and automatons are imagined? Dr. Dawn Brandes (Fountain School of Performing Arts and Halifax Humanities) will be exploring these questions in her upcoming talk this Wednesday, Feb 28th, 7:00pm at Alumni Hall, King’s College, Halifax.

This talk is part of the public lecture series “Automatons: From Ovid to AI.” For information go to: Automatons Lecture Series.
