AI-based Exploration of Art and Design

Researchers: Steve DiPaola, Suk Choi, Meehae Song, Nouf Abukhodair, Vanessa Utz, Shannon Cuykendall

The Research: Computational and AI techniques, combined with our research in cognitive science based work in creativity, aesthetics, sensing, movement – heralds in new forms of art and design, including new exploration / ideation / creation / collaboration techniques.

See samples of our work in the figures below:

Using our systems - users can journey through art and design ideation space:

Our system allows for moving through a space where all is logged and users can journey back and forth and on creative forks - where all parts of the journey are archived and mapped.

These techniques have been used by many artists including much work in video and large scale multimedia art including with dancers, and art activism. See work with: DANCE .. and .. Large Projection.

We often exhibit the work at major museums, galleries, conferences and at talks, interviews (TV News here), panels including discussing ethical implications. See News section for talks.
