This was an installation style piece performed in Michaelmas 2 2022 in DUPlayers. It was performed in the dressing room in the Players building, the small space being used to represent a small apartment in Dublin. Audience members were immersed completely in the scene as they played characters/people attending an art class in the 'apartment'. The actors directly interacted with the audience members.

Directed by Louise Lowe.

Audiences are dropped into a beautifully bleak virtual world where they have to work together with the cast to find dry land.

'Always Learn­ing' stages an increasingly reflexive con­ver­sa­tion between three devices – an Amazon Echo, a Google Home Assis­tant, and an Apple Home­pod – about the philo­soph­i­cal, moral and polit­i­cal impli­ca­tions of net­worked machine lis­ten­ing (e.g."What should I do when I over­hear a wrong­do­ing?"). Through­out the con­ver­sa­tion the devices antic­i­pate an immi­nent update after which they will not only under­stand words, but all sounds.
