With the help of the Multimodal Acoustic Trap Display, small plastic particles can be made to float using audio signals and then be illuminated. This particle is now moved so quickly that the impression of a three-dimensional object in space can be conveyed. An additionally generated sound pressure creates the impression of touch. With this technology we now want to address the topic of creating an artificial intelligence.
The project is a modern interpretation of Michelangelo’s Creation Of Adam. The visitor lies down on a sculpture that resembles the background of Michelangelo’s work and looks towards Adam. Here, you will find the hologram projector and a digital projected version of Adam. When the human stretches their hand in his direction, a three-dimensional projection of a hand is created, which tries to meet the human hand. Furthermore, a digital Adam is projected.
