whisper in cells at @project.playaround in last month

using live portrait with comfyui for animating the static face textures, driven by the videos of the actors
using bsrgan to upscale the video for filling the canvas, which took forever for a 20-min video on a 3070 card

concept and installation: @tungwinghong

Before formatting the laptop, found some failed stylegan outputs done several years ago for the work ‘2-degrees (coral city)’, which surprisingly look nice(?) from a new perspective today.

Body Landscape is a live performance & exhibition of cross-disciplinary creation with sculpture, interactive installation, and improvisation. While you are observing the sculptures, you also become a sculpture in the space.

身體景觀是一個結合雕塑、互動裝置和即興創作的現場表演展覽作品。當你在觀察身體雕塑的同時，你也成為空間中的雕塑。

Sharing a bit of the real-time body parts detection program behind the scene. #customtraining #YOLOv10 with @touchdesigner

Technology can easily fragmentize your body, physically or/and spiritually. Are people familiar with their body being fragmentized? This is one of the thoughts of the body segmentation in this work.

分享一些是件作品中身體部位監測程序的畫面。
科技可以輕而易舉將身體碎片化，無論是從物理上還是精神上。人們是否對自己的身體被碎片化而感到熟悉？這是這件作品中有意分割與放大身體部位的其中一個緣由之一。

“Mute” is an experimental improvisational art performance in which artificial intelligence plays an invisible role. It translates the movements of the dancer into poetry in real-time, roaring as it engages in dialogues and arguments with the performer.

The above are poems created in real-time (no edited) by the AI poet based on the dancers’ movements. At that time, ChatGPT had not yet reached its current advanced state; instead, the T5 model was used for the AI poet and was trained based on Charles Bukowski’s poems, and surprisingly the results were somehow poetic and beautifully confusing (?). I like them.

「Mute」是一個實驗性的即興現場演出，在其中人工智能扮演一個無形的角色，它將舞者的無言舞蹈翻譯成詩，咆哮著與表演者爭吵與對話。

以上的詩是在Mute演出中AI實時根據舞者的舞蹈動作創作的（無編輯）。彼時ChatGPT還無法擁有現時超神的寫作能力，所以當時採用的是微調t5模型並使用查爾斯布考斯基的詩集作為訓練數據，得到的結果竟也出乎意料得有些詩意，錯漏和鬼打牆也有趣得很美麗。

Many thanks to Alice Ma, the amazing choreographer of the show, who “suffered” in the process of training a custom RNN dance motion AI model.

萬分感激編舞家舞者Alice Ma在訓練舞蹈語言AI模型過程中承受數據收集的「折磨」。

“Underwater” is an artificial intelligence visual art piece that portrays an imaginary underwater world, using photographs of seabed samples collected by the Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) by SWIMS as its basis. Recently it was screened at Airside in Kai Tak as part of the “Blutopia Ocean Moment”.
