Ian Cheng: Life after Bob – The Chalice Study

Beginning September 09, 2022, LAS, in partnership with LUMA Arles and The Shed, will realize Ian Cheng's latest work Life After BOB: The Chalice Study.

Cheng's work, recently commissioned by LAS, The Shed and LUMA, combines his interest in evoking deep psychological truths through the potential of cinematic storytelling with the possibilities of an open-ended simulation that introduces automatically generated elements. Parallel to the cinematic presentation, an interactive "World Watching" of Life After BOB allows viewers to pause the film and explore the details of individual scenes at their own pace. In addition, audiences are invited to engage with and actively contribute background information about characters and artifacts, flora and fauna to the Life After BOB wiki. These edits, in turn, update the details of the world on the World Watching screens and extend Life After BOB as a new form of programmable storytelling medium.

In The Chalice Study, the first installment of Ian Cheng's anime series, Dr. Wong implants an experimental AI named BOB into his daughter Chalice's nervous system. BOB, designed to maneuver Chalice through the challenges of growing up in an ever-changing world, quickly begins to resolve all conflicts for Chalice. Dr. Wong begins to like his daughter's BOB side better, while she herself becomes increasingly out of touch with reality.
