Human 2.0 Artist – Pete Boisvert
This interview series will focus on the artists of DEINDE and ForePlay Human 2.0, asking them to riff on the themes and question of the plays.
Pete Boisvert will direct the installment of ForePlay: Human 2.0 on 4/9, after having become a veritable stalwart of our weekly workshops, Flux Sundays. So good has he become at making these scenes work with very little time that one might wish to replace the word water in “just add water” with the name Boisvert.
What crazy invention are you most looking forward to in the future?
The flying car. Always, the flying car.

Still not dead.
If you could evolve one of your own senses, which would it be, and why?
My sense of indignation.

Add another pair of thumbs.
A time-travelling-you from the future suddenly appears with something important to tell present-you. What do they have to say?
“I can’t believe I escaped that apocalyptic hellhole. Got any room on your couch?”
Will the future be more like Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, or the Jetsons?
A combination of Star Trek: Enterprise, the Star Wars prequels, the original 70s Battlestar Galactica and a XXX Jetsons porn parody. In short, a dystopia.
If you had the opportunity to think and feel directly into a computer, would you take it?
I’d like the opportunity for the computer to think and feel directly into me. That should free up my time considerably.
What do you have coming up in the future that you want our readers to know about it?
Fleeing in terror and couch-surfing, apparently. In the very near future, I’m appearing onstage in the final performances of James Comtois’ Monkeys at the Brick Theatre tonight.
