Originally rooted in animist ritual and the collective sacrifice to nature’s unpredictable powers, the themes in The Rite of Spring find new resonance in the age of AI.

This bold reinterpretation of Stravinsky’s infamous work presents a world in which the human collective is subject to the omnipresent force of the algorithm. Their ritual dances suggest a terrifying return to the primal: not despite technology, but through it.

Reframing the chaotic and urgent rhythms of the Rite of Spring through the lens of AI offers a reflection on the timeless human tendency to build systems of meaning around forces that do not care for us, yet profoundly shape our lives.
