HAAi - HUMANiSE (live album performance, from Drumsheds)

HUMANiSE (live album performance, from Drumsheds) is a film by New Vision Originals of a live performance, depicting a unique visual journey into HAAi’s new album, HUMANiSE.

The performance unfolds inside a meticulously crafted installation of a ‘90s office: a time capsule lined with ring binders, Rolodexes, fax machines, reams of A4 paper, and landline telephones - reimagined within the cavernous shell of London’s Drumsheds. The set becomes a surreal workplace bringing the conceptual world of the album to life.

Styled and dressed by TOGA Archives, HAAi and her collaborators - Jon Hopkins, Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Obi Franky, KAM-BU, TRANS VOICES, and poet Kaiden Ford - inhabit this surreal workspace, weaving in and out of filing cabinets as the conceptual world of the album unfolds in real time.

The album, out 10 October via Mute, reckons with what it is to be human in an increasingly digital world as AI threatens to eclipse everything and our screens separate us from each other. Through collaboration and community, HAAi explores the importance of a sense of togetherness and hope.
