About AI Master
This project leverages real-time motion capture and AI algorithms to explore new forms of movement, integrating Unity machine learning with live body motion to reinterpret and transform the human form, offering a fresh perspective on anatomy. By combining dance and algorithmic frameworks, it delves into post-human narratives, examining imaginative possibilities and inherent limitations. A central feature is an AI embodiment, trained via machine learning, engaging in a street dance battle with a human performer, creating a dynamic interplay of human-machine interactions. The audience actively participates as judges, enhancing engagement and bridging the realms of art and technology.

I was taking a break and stumbled upon this post — such a creative mix of AI, dance, and audience interaction! While searching for research topics on waste management, I couldn’t help but admire how innovation in one field can inspire fresh ideas in another.
The idea of combining AI with live performance in AI Master is incredibly captivating, particularly the dance duel between human and machine. It seems like a dynamic trial in post-human expression, and similar to ebook writers, it shows how creativity can be transformed through cooperation with technology.
