Instructions for a performance by GPT-3:

In this performance art piece, the artist has created his own take on the popular image of the Statue of Liberty. This visual icon is re-imagined as a statue of a young girl, with her head held high and in hand a torch that symbolizes gender equality. Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man is also present in this work. In the original drawing, the man’s head, arms and legs are in perfect symmetry. This work is a critique of the male dominated art world and is a call for a female artist to be able to find her voice and her place in the art world.

The artist makes use of the interplay of light and shadow to create a surreal experience. He places the viewer in a strange state of mind. The piece is interactive, the viewer can actually take the torch away from the statue. This will mean that the statue will be holding the torch in her left hand instead of her right hand. In this way, the viewer is able to change the message of the work by altering its meaning.

The Statue of Liberty is a symbol that many immigrants coming to America have grown up with. The promise of a brighter future is something that has excited and inspired many. The artist refers to this symbolism in his work. The artist is also referring to the idea of freedom and liberty.
