Flow

Interactive Generative Art for Yuming Chen

Flow is an innovative AI interactive art project enabling real-time engagement between the audience and AI generated artworks. By utilizing generative art models and motion capture technology, users can input image descriptions, with AI artworks appearing instantly on the screen. Additionally, the audience can modify the AI art through body movements, transforming it from a static image into a dynamic experience. This innovation allows non-professionals to explore and appreciate the creative possibilities of AI art, expanding the boundaries of traditional artistic expression.

Unique Properties

"Flow" is a new attempt for interactive art in the field of AI, which realises real-time interaction between the audience and AI artworks by introducing large models of generative art and motion capture technology. After the audience inputs the description of the image, the AI artwork can be generated on the screen in real time without additional waiting, and the audience can influence the formed AI artwork through the change of body movement, so that it is no longer just a static picture.

Production Technology

Plug-ins are made by writing Python code in Touch Designer to connect to the API port of the large model to get the big model. Create visual effects such as particles in Touch Designer to visually process the generated images. And access the camera port to capture the audience's movement in real time, and convert the movement into data in Touch Designer to influence the effect of the generated image.

Design Challenge

The challenge in the development of this project was how to combine the large model with the digital creative tool TouchDesigner, and how to make the generation of the images smoother and more interactive with the audience. In order to achieve the effect of real-time generation without waiting, the picture quality of the generated images needed to be sacrificed, but I used digital art techniques to secondary process to achieve a better visual effect.

Operation Flow

Enter prompts to generate images in real time, and wave your hands or any body movement to change and interact with the generated images.

Inspiration

Thinking about the limitations of current AI art generators. In addition to inputting cue words, in what other ways can we influence the generation of AI artworks? How can the general audience (non-professional practitioners) experience the fascination brought by AI-produced art? I achieve real-time interaction between viewers and AI artworks by introducing the fastest-generating AI macromodels into Touch Desiger, so that the experiencers can interact with the AI artworks through the camera.
