LUCY AI: When Lucy was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2018, her dear friend David Usher (from ReimagineAI and Climate Clock) wanted to make sure her memories lived on.

The result is LUCY AI—an interactive video installation where you can step into Lucy’s world, hear her thoughts, and connect with her memories. It’s personal, powerful and changes every time you experience it.

LUCY AI will activate our upstairs gallery space between March 27-29. Audiences will be able to walk-in any time during installation hours (subject to capacity). Pay What You Want at the door, no advance booking required. ELEPHANT ticket holders enjoy free access—just show your ticket at the door.

ELEPHANT brings you into a shared space with the performers, where the ripple effects of one life-changing event unfold. It’s honest and deeply human—blending personal stories, spontaneous moments, and heartfelt connections as the group navigates how to hold onto each other, find joy, and make sense of life.
