is a sort of clown performance.
Viewers follow EXPERT (who also knows nothing) as they stumble through the musuem, pointing out objects of interest as they go. With no real knowledge to guide them, EXPERT relies on the audience to suggest their expertise and lets the AI do the thinking for them.
EXPERT gives a tour uses a (totally vibe-coded, very breakable) custom software + tech stack. As the camrea points at an object, a description of the object as it relates to the suggested theme is genreated by an LLM. The description is played aloud on a speaker, and transcribed on screen for live-streamed viewers.
