'Artificial: Remote Intelligence' Episode 2: Learn worldbuilding with Bernie Su and Justin Lee
'Artificial: Remote Intelligence', the third season of Twitch's award-winning web series 'Artificial', is finally here and it's pushing the limits of interactive storytelling. The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning series almost sounds like something out of a sci-fi story but now it's more advanced than ever with a series of new tools and enhancements added to the experience
'Artificial' is a cutting-edge series that harnesses audience choices to shape the story in real-time. The first two seasons followed Sophie Lin (Tiffany Chu), an Artificial Intelligence, as she learned how to become more human by interacting with a live Twitch audience. This season there are a number of innovations that are set to make the series more interactive than ever and the first of these, the live music scoring tool LifeScore, was introduced in Episode 1. Now Episode 2 will be introducing the audience to yet another exciting new feature: worldbuilding episodes.
Through these episodes, the audience will be able to create brand new characters for the show. Episode 2 will be hosted by showrunner Bernie Su and star Justin Lin, who will be guiding the audience through the episode and explain how worldbuilding works on 'Artificial'. After this, every third episode of the season is expected to be a worldbuilding episode that will allow the audience to design characters, make casting choices and even design sets.
'Artificial: Remote Intelligence' is the show's first remotely produced season. Like the previous seasons, this one will also begin with a scripted premise but the actual story will be more dependant on the audience than ever before. After Sophie was deactivated in the Season 2 finale, the series will now be focusing on a different AI and a lot of the choices about the character, including her name, will be left up to the viewers to decide. We're assuming Episode 2 will be where we get to name the new AI, currently known as SV3.
'Artificial' stars Tiffany Chu as the series' leading character, an AI that's using Twitch to learn how to be human. Other main cast members are Tohoru Masamune, Stephen Chang, Justin Lee, and Jennifer Field. New cast members this season include Devon Werkheiser and Christy St. John.
'Artificial: Remote Intelligence' airs live on Thursdays at 9 pm. EST / 600 pm PST only on Twitch.
