Dan Simpson Presents Artificial Ineloquence

---

Using music and projection to create a modern multimedia take on the spoken word

Stand-up poet Dan Simpson writes and performs in Artificial Ineloquence: a show about the screens and machines that rule over our lives. As the robots rise and deep learning A.I.s threaten to take over the world, can humanity survive? Dynamic spoken word, computerised comedy, and emoji poetry all feature in this hour from BBC and Glastonbury word-slinger Dan Simpson, described by The Scotsman as "the perfect antidote to the perpetual screen-burn of our internet-obsessed age"

Artificial Ineloquence is full of wordplay and jokes about the way the technology on our desks and in our pockets dominates our lives. The audience are encouraged to leave their phones on – and will even be part of a mass-selfie poem, published after each show! Featuring clickbait headlines, poetry in open beta, and that never-ending pile of falsely polite emails, Artificial Ineloquence uses music, props, and projection to create a modern multimedia take on the spoken word.
