Physical Expression through Digital Medium
About this project
In this workshop we attempt to bridge and highlight the gap in human-computer connections, specifically in regards to AI. By feeding three different forms of physical inputs into a generative AI model, we will be exploring how AI can be playful and take part in co-creative practices.
In this workshop, there will be three setups, each sending a live-view from a webcam into Touch Design that then generates an image anytime the image shifts based on a preset prompt/theme, this image will be put on a projector to view. The three stations will include: a drawing station, random objects (to see how you can use mundane objects to create meaning), and a shadow puppet station. Each station will allow the participants to play in different ways in order to create a final image, it is encouraged that participants will take turns working together in order to create a larger piece that includes everyone in the class. In the second step, participants are able to pick if they want the images to overlay.
