Chronic Insanity: PNOC.io

An adaptation of Pinocchio for the internet age and a reflection on the power and influence that tech companies have in our lives.

You are starting a new job, a User Experience Tester for Stromboli, the world’s most exciting internet company. After initiation, you are shown a top-secret research project and asked to deliver a series of tests. However, things are not as they seem. As the tests progress you begin to uncover more about what the company is really testing for, having to decide whether you want to help them achieve their goals or whether you want to sabotage them while you have the chance.

PNOC.io is an experience that examines misinformation, the ethics of tech companies, the rights of artificial intelligences, and the ability for an individual to make meaningful change in the world.

A web link (URL) to the experience will be emailed to you directly on Fri 4 Aug and can be accessed at any time up until Mon 28 Aug. If purchasing your ticket after Fri 4 Aug, you will receive this URL soon after booking within the body of your e-ticket.

PNOC.io is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.

The Traverse Theatre is funded by Creative Scotland and The City of Edinburgh Council.
