Verify You Are Human, a new performance program from Chicago-based collective Beyond This Point, takes a sly yet apprehensive look between neurons, CPUs, and machines.

From CAPTCHA requests to AI slop to exhaust manifolds, the gap between biological and computational "minds" seems to be on a rubber band– contracting and expanding with accelerating fervor as the relationship becomes increasingly entangled. Including intermedia works by David Bird, Alec Hall, and Julie Zhu, which each at once postulate, declare, admonish, and beseech what the hell is going on and what the hell will happen next.

Produced by Qubit, Verify You Are Human is both a frantic reestablishment of the brain's supremacy and a capitulation to our fabricated world and silicon-based minders.
