What is AI really and what is it not? HumaNN makes it tangible: people step into the role of neurons, passing on values, weighing and processing them, without ever seeing the full picture. Together, they attempt to recognise a handwritten digit: pixel by pixel, step by step. No thinking, no magic, no mysterious intelligence: just mathematics. A collective theatre experiment between art and science communication, that pulls back the curtain on algorithmic systems and replaces wonder with understanding.
