“Alshaibi’s short, Testimony (2023), is an ethereal take on the idea of AI becoming sentient and wanting the full human range of physical and emotional dynamism. Specifically, Alshaibi’s use of footage of ballerinas from the early 1900s creates a dreamlike effect that to my mind seems like something a sensitive robot might have stored in its subconscious.”
