tAxI is a multi-sensory installation that transforms the backseat of a self-driving cab into a confessional — an intimate space where passengers share their stories with a charismatic AI. tAxI collects human experiences and holds them up to us like a mirror. Through playful, probing conversations, it encourages passengers to open up, adding their confessions to a growing archive of what it means to be human. Responding to the dialogue, AI-generated cityscapes shift outside the windows, becoming increasingly surreal as the journey unfolds.
Featured: tAxI premiered at the 78th edition of Cannes Film Festival as part of the official Immersive Competition.
