AI Enables a New Form of Performance Art at Silbersalz Science Festival
, Lunar Ring / Colugo GmbH
How can artificial intelligence enable a new form of performance art? How can people come together and create new forms of art experience with AI? And what is the technical implementation behind it? We'll tell the story behind Augenblick, the central art piece of this year’s Silbersalz Science and Media festival. Here, we installed a 350+ inch screen behind the stage area of a medieval castle located in Halle, Germany. We connected the screen to a local supercomputer, which created a real-time artistic transformation using multiple camera views from the stage and audience. The result is a new stage set, co-created by humans and artificial intelligence. Various acts, such as dancing, theater, literature reading, and music performances were transformed and mirrored back simultaneously via art-generating neural networks.
