Project Description
This work seeks to reconcile the differences between human and machine creativity by reintroducing the embodied practices of art-making that have been lost in the process of artificially recreating the human mind, while still leveraging the opportunities offered by generative AI. Using kinetic sand, this piece intends to facilitate embodied interactions with AI to collaboratively create art, by engaging the body's senses, movements and instincts. By collecting visual and motion data through a camera, the AI acts as an active collaborator in the making process with the human body, allowing for a higher level of human control and creative participation.
