The “Through the Noise” exhibition invites viewers to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and art. It serves as a culmination of research into using AI as a therapeutic tool in artistic expression. The exhibition’s theme is symbolized by a train journey through the information chaos, where artists excavate buried emotions and memories, providing a unique lens into their personal experiences.
The project is a recording of a psychological dance performance with elements of augmented reality that took place in Brno, Czech Republic on October 25, 2022. The performance features a person alone in a boat in the middle of the ocean, serving as a metaphor for the experience of living and analyzing one’s own feelings and emotions alone.
As the moon approaches the Earth, the person in the boat plunges into a melancholic state, which triggers the rise of various underwater creatures from the ocean. These creatures personify different emotions, and their emergence symbolizes the surfacing of repressed feelings and emotions within the person.
The performance incorporates elements of augmented reality to enhance the storytelling and create a more immersive experience for the audience. The AR elements complement the story and create sensations similar to the associative figurative work of the subconscious. This allows the audience to experience the performance in a more visceral and emotional way, connecting with the underlying themes and emotions of the performance.
Overall, the performance offers a powerful and evocative exploration of the human experience of emotions and the process of self-analysis. The use of augmented reality elements adds a layer of engagement and immersion, allowing the audience to connect with the performance in a more visceral and emotional way.
Introducing a collection of AR filters created via Meta Spark AR Studio, tailored for Instagram and Facebook. Among them, some were designed as part of the psychological dance performance project, while others were crafted for the Art Show of Ethereal Budapest. These filters offer a blend of artistic expression and interactive engagement, inviting users to explore and immerse themselves via digital experiences.
I created an AR filter for Instagram using Meta Spark Studio and developed the exhibition concept for ECHOS SURRÉALISTES CONTEMPORAINS—an international surrealist event that took place on April 15, 2024, across multiple locations: Luxor, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Budapest, and Alabama. The exhibition featured surreal gates symbolizing a step into the augmented reality space of international artists.
I assisted artists from abroad in presenting their works through AR, designing three surreal gates with AI, which served as AR triggers. By scanning the QR code and pointing their phones at the images of these gates, viewers could experience the artworks in an immersive way. The event also included a variety of engaging workshops, making it an interactive and dynamic celebration of contemporary surrealism.
From the artistic perspective, “Layers of Sense” is an attempt to reflect on the current moment, and to provide an audience with a glimpse of artists’ emotions, personal experiences, and thoughts. It took place at December 14, 2022.
“Layers of Sense” is a combination of “traditional” visual artworks and modern, innovative technologies, such as augmented reality (AR). All artworks displayed on the walls of the venue, valuable and solid as they are, will have an AR component: interactive visuals, audio, text or film. We selected AR, because it is a pragmatic and logistical solution for many of the challenges faced by contributors seeking to address the exhibition’s themes.
The multimedia exhibition has become possible with the financial support of the Goethe-Institut.
