 About this EpisodeIn this video, the second half of a dialogic performance experiment unfolds as two distinct characters—both played by the same person—reflect on what it means to share a single consciousness. We explore comparisons to chair work therapy, internal dialogues, dissociative identity and performance art to deepen the notion of a “politics of inner self.” What does it mean when one version of you dominates the stage of selfhood? Can character role play serve as a philosophical or therapeutic tool? Join us as we interrogate the ethics, complexities and possibilities of inner multiplicity.While Episode 5.1a described the performance experiment, this section discusses its implications.About this SeriesScripting for Agency: An Artistic Enquiry into Selfhood, Character and Agency in the Age of AI is a video lecture series based on Dr Katarina Ranković’s practice-based PhD in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London. Combining philosophy, performance, creative writing, and AI theory, the series explores how our understanding of the self shapes our personal lives, our politics, and our relationship to intelligent technologies.LinksSeries Playlist: https://bit.ly/sfa-seriesPhD thesis (PDF format): https://bit.ly/sfa-pdfThesis artworks: https://bit.ly/sfa-artPolitics of Inner SelfReferences- Clarkson, Petrūska.
