Demo Day
For the Demo Day, I successfully bulit the website to get input from the audience and show one of the visualizations (text-based) in TouchDesigner. However, since I encounter some issues with using Stable Diffusion in TouchDesigner, I will show the second visualization using the Wizard of Oz method by preparing the AI-generated visuals beforehand.
For the functionality of the prototype, I will use two projectors to project both visualizations at the same time. However, I also prepare another device to connect to the projector separately in case there’s an issue with the first plan. There will also be sound (royalty-free ambient music) throughout the showcase to enhance the immersive experience.
Through this project, I aim to understand how the audience perceive AI in a more humanistic approach and, at the same time, let them explore others’ perceptions and leave them with the questions they might have about the portrayal of AI. Hence, the key questions I have for my audience are whether their thought of AI has changed after the experience, and whether the experience leaves them with any questions or assumptions about AI in any particular way.
