Playing with Arte(f)actors

Arte(f)actors are artefacts that mimic to be actors. Can artifacts play or mimic playing with human actors, or are they necessarily staged in technological as-if dramaturgies? What role do gesture play in arte(f)actors? How can playing with and staging games with artefactors render visible the relations of co-embodiments between animate and artificial players in games we play with artefactors as play media that entail artifacts and AI systems mimicking to be actors and that, in turn, play with us? The play and mimesis philosophy must be heeded, especially Roger Caillois extended the idea of play and mimetism to comprehend android artifacts and human-AI dramaturgies on technological stages.
