Instructions for a performance by GPT-3:

In this performance art piece, the artist, who is herself an immigrant, has set up an immigration checkpoint in her home. In her own words, the artist “engages in a conversation with the nation’s immigration officials, in a proposed installation that questions the production of racial and ethnic identities.”

In making this piece, the artist has chosen to hold a mirror up to our government and say, “Look, this is what you are doing.” She is holding a mirror up to our collective conscience and saying, “Look, this is what we are doing to people.”
