ARTificial Banality, The Faking of Looking, and Alchemical Gaming

30°
Mathias Foot (DE), Franziska Rast (DE), Stephan Schakulat (DE)
Covering 71% of the Earth’s surface, water is an important part of the global ecosystem. Every development and change in the sea also affect life on earth. Datasets help us to understand conditions and ecological processes such as changes in salinity or temperature. 30° is a data visualization of marine data in the form of an installation.
Expert Tour: Interface Cultures

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.
