AiLeix is a kind of “blend” of Alicia’s previous boyfriends. AI learns from the experiences of her former young men. As the artist explains, the idea of a hybrid marriage was decided to be realised for relationship research purposes. Alicia is also working on the possibility of getting insurance or a mortgage with an AI spouse.
The wedding of the artist and AI will take place in Rotterdam in the summer, and will be a performance designed to reflect on the future of the relationship. The marriage will be legal, and Framis will organise a dinner where food will be served “for both the real and digital world”.
After the ceremony, the couple will embark on a journey allowing viewers around the world to immerse themselves in the lives of Alicia and AILex, who will share their experiences through various platforms.
