Instructions for a performance by GPT-3:

Instructions for a feminist performance art piece:

1) Read up on what a feminist is and what feminist performance art usually entails.

2) Record a voice-over describing a scene where the pieces of everyday normal life break down or become mirrors that create a sense of trap.

3) Keep three LED candles lit at all times during the performance to create a sense of continuity.

4) Keep any emotions to a minimum.

5) Utilize costumes, curtains, props, and/or art to fill in the scene and convey a sense of vulnerability or oppression.

6) Do everything you can to avoid making contact with audience members.

7) Act natural and comfortable with each stationary, kinesthetic break.

8) Stick to the script where you go on to be seen in poses that capture positions one might depict in classical paintings or sculptures.

9) Wear a body suit in a light color that sucks all the life out of it while giving it life at the same time.
