Alexander Gerner is a theater-maker, curator, dramaturg and since 12/2023, Adjunct Professor and researcher at Universidade Lusófona/FilmEU University.
In 1998, he received the city council of Munich "Dance¬ and Theatre-prize" for his multimedia & interdisciplinary (Internet/TV/theater) play "zap through my life (Ztml)" and the Prize of the Authors Days for his theatre play "Trance"(1997). Gerner holds a PhD in History and Philosophy of Science on "Philosophical Investigations of Attention"(ULisboa 05/2012). He works on a critique of algorithmic rationality (hacking humans), affectivity, and simulation of social encounters and their mediation and digital substitution relations. As part of a dramaturgic philosophy of technology and media he adopts an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on the arts and the concepts of interplay of (programmed) sociality, human technology, ethics, and aesthetic foundations & hacking as cultural method. He envisions (post-) digital media, gestures and artifacts, art-as-research, epistemologies of aesthetics & media archaeologies and praxeologies. He hacks into AI aesthetics, AI Avatars, dialogues modes and dramaturgies of AI assistants, gamified XR/AI companions, and generative, agentic and personalized media. He explores scenic methods (e.g. Climate Theatre) as well as arte(f)actors, artefacts that mimic to be actors, e.g. in language dramaturgies/masks/roles of LLMs cross-modal creative applications in arts and cultural industries.
