ARTificial Banality, The Faking of Looking, and Alchemical Gaming
Baoyang Chen (CN)

This project explores the ontological dichotomies among us, technology and society by again questioning if machine can think. A brain in the vat craves to be awakened.

RASA-BOX
Iris Long (CN), Deng Hanbin (CN), Wu Tiancheng (CN)

Rasa is a “mirror” – it evaluates your “emotional state” in real-time based on your gestures. The project explores the limits of the comfort zone of the “privacy of one’s own feelings.” A camera and the algorithms will detect in real-time the skeleton data of the viewers and deduce their emotional state in order to write a sentence that falls in the same emotion category.

Mappa Mundi: An Interactive Artistic Mind Map Generator with Artificial Imagination
Qiu Zhijie (CN), He Xiaodong (CN)

A multi-level mind map and corresponding graphics are generated via an LSTM model to form an artistic image based on live stimuli, injected with AI imagination. This work recognizes semantics via ASR and POS tagging, and further processes and generates associations among them.

Gaze into Haze
Qiu Siyao (CN)

Will the rise of single gazes also mean a decline of the global view? Every single gaze means letting go of the larger picture. The person being gazed at may feel embarrassed. Is it possible for the inorganic object being gazed at to change? Who can remember what happened in the moment before a distraction?

Wind Charm
Liu Zhicheng (CN)

What were the earliest musical Instruments of mankind? How did humanity start enjoying music? This work attempts to transform emotions into simple signals produced by blowing air on bottlenecks, which is directly controlled by brain waves. Like the hand of a pioneer musician, the users explore the boundary between sound and emotion with their brain waves.

Body Poetry
Liu Guiyu (CN)

Body Poetry is an exploration of future body data and poetic human data. When linking the body to the data, perhaps our sadness, fear and enthusiasm are not only the spirituality of poetry, but the result of the algorithm.

Time
Jianhao Lei (CN)

What I present in this project is a trapped clock. The audience takes an EEG and the data extracted from their brain activities reinvigorate the clock. Then, the clock is no longer moving second by second, but at a real-time pace according to the brain activity of the viewer.

Mind Particles
He Xuan (CN)

The particles are suspended and aggregated in the air, and the brain waves generated by concentration during meditation control the substances in the container. When the control stops, the air movement stops, the particles return to the absolute steady state and are scattered.

Brainwave Project to Help Patients with Disorders of Consciousness
Qi Chen (CN)

In this project, I hope to provide an approach to help people who are in a minimally conscious state (MCS) and have partial preservation of conscious awareness by using wearable devices to detect real-time brain waves and generate images to help doctors and families understand the different brain responses to different audiovisual inputs.
