Meet your synthetic self.
In the future you might face a unique and entirely new reflection of yourself: synthetic self.
Commissioned by The Barbican, London for the entrance of the exhibition AI: More Than Human, this interactive experience combines AI and kinetic technologies. It presented to visitors a non-human animated figure that wiggles, shifts, and bends in tandem with the user, showing up to 47,000 possible variations in appearance.
The animation also evolves alongside the user, becoming more agile as it learns movements specific to the visitor’s body.
The exhibition received over 88,000 visitors, making it one of the most successful exhibitions to have been hosted at the Barbican Centre. The interested generated around the exhibit is also a proof point of the ever-evolving relationship between man and machine.
