Zombie, the Fly
A fruit-fly connectome becomes an actor in Doom, Minecraft or a robot. What are we setting in motion: a brain, an architecture or a zombie without memory? Connecting this experiment to my A.L.I. work on solipsism and simulated worlds, I propose the “Threshold of Reality”: the moment simulation enters the world’s causal chain. I then imagine a forty-eight-hour performance in which a zombie fly controls all security systems in an art centre and becomes a genuine “guard fly.”
