About Dianna Dynamic- Memoirs of a Cyborg
When latest model cyborg, Dianna Dynamic, minutes past her use-by date, is dumped at the scrapheap, waiting to be recycled into solar panels, she has a choice. Will her satisfaction come from being good for the environment? Or is it time to give humanity another go?
Before becoming cyborg, Dianna is broke, her 401k fund is empty and there’s body parts which need replacing. After being recruited by The Machine, Dianna makes huge amounts of money, enlisting people to become cyborgs. She exceptional at her job..98.5% of the time. Smashing targets like plates, living the life she always dreamed of. Life is brilliant until she overhears The Machine scheduling her termination, and her dreams turn to dust.
Dianna Dynamic – Memoirs of a Cyborg questions the seemingly limitless capacity of AI, our urgent willingness to embrace it and how money and efficiency are the arbiter of ethics. Running parallel to the Ai theme is Dianna’s story, about a woman breaking free of her own invisibility and self-imposed prison.
Dianna Dynamic, directed by Australian 4 time gold Logie award winner, Lisa McCune, received a 4/5 star review at the 2023 Melbourne Fringe Festival, with reviewer Carla Di Maggio calling it "a triumph."
