Foukenstein is a conversational performance that gives voice to an artificial figure freely inspired by Michel Foucault. Starting from a written question, the dispositif produces a spoken response by combining text generation, the mobilization of theoretical references, short-term memory, and speech synthesis. It does not seek to simulate Foucault, nor to offer a faithful incarnation of him, but rather to construct a critical monster: an artificial, unstable, and ambivalent presence, capable of statements that are sometimes accurate, sometimes flawed.
