This page will allow you to generate your own instructions for performance art pieces in the style of our current exhibit Embodying the Algorithm using GPT-3’s DaVinci model. Each time you refresh this page, a new performance that has been previously generated using GPT-3 will be displayed. If you would like to record and submit your own performance based on one of the generated texts, please see the instructions on our Submissions page.

Instructions for a performance by GPT-3:

An idea for an endurance performance: I want to make a performance where I try to do it while: – Moving a box without using my arms completely non stop for a long time (60 minutes for example) – Using my arms only a few times throughout a performance and at irregular intervals – Not using weight lifting gloves This is how I imagine it 1. Find a box to move, one that is light-weight 2. Set up a time limit for s performance (60 minutes). 3. Start moving the box 4. When there is a one minute left in the performance, stop it, pick up a banana and eat it, then continue moving a box for one more hour. 5. When there is 10mins left in the box moving workout, stop it, pick up a lemon and squeeze the juice from it, then continue for 10 more mins 6. When there is 5min left, meditate The point is to move i one continuous and slowly paced performance from start to finish non-stop.
