Luke Cargill. Vicarious.

An interactive hologram performance that enables anyone in a crowd to feel like a superstar. Crowd data, whether collected through a pre-concert survey, cameras, or on-site sensors, transforms the onstage performance to reflect the unique qualities and actions of crowd members. The holographic pop star becomes a digital stage persona for the people to vicariously shine through.

For my primary artistic project, I am the lead designer (and technical designer) of an outdoor 30 minute audio/visual projection show that will play every night, in sync with the Dartmouth's student-run radio organization. This show will be the first of its kind that has been played in a public-facing space at such a large scale in the history of the campus. This show was first conceptualized as an ode to my hometown, Chicago, where the Art on the Mart light show plays almost every night, lighting up the Chicago River.

Yunzi Shi, John Bell, and Adithya Pediredla. Embodied Visions: Interactive Installations That Reimagine Bodily Presence in Digital Imaging Apparatuses as Shadows.

Embodied Visions is three interactive installations that contend with the disembodying tendencies of contemporary digital imaging. Each installation encourages the participants to interact with and transform the imaging and display pipelines with their bodies as optical and computed shadows. Combining projectors and cameras with machine-learning-based computer vision, this project presents prototypes for digital imaging that integrate optics and bodily presence. Initial feedback from participants confirms the novelty and easy engagement. The installations critique the limitations of existing digital imaging and display technologies and reimagine alternatives that raise bodily awareness for active perceptions.

Xuedan Zou. Triple Helix: AI-Artist-Audience collaboration in a performative art experience. Link (video)

Imagine an art exhibition that morphs its content according to the audience’s experience like a chameleon, reflecting the audience’s mind and culture and turning the artist’s exhibition into the viewer’s. But when the viewers leave, the work fades back to the creator’s original work and waits for the next audience. In this project, my team introduced an interactive exhibition called "Triple Helix," where audience members were provided the opportunity to alter the artworks created by the artist, thus imbuing them with their own perspectives.
