A detailed account of our presentation and workshop at CCC 35C3 hacker conference where we proposed a new kind of software for the body based on the patterns of movement and physical interaction — and its implications for the development of AI.
Most of the artificial intelligence research today is based on the notion of the mind. Computational models, neural networks… Brain seems to be in the center of attention and mind seems to be the Thing. But what about the body? And what is the role it can play in the development of artificial intelligence?
In this workshop, conducted in collaboration with Nike Lab x Matthew Williams and ∞OS, we created a live interactive environment to stimulate cross-contextual learning and creativity among the participants. In this work we used text-to-network visualization tool, live space tracking, sonic queues and body-heatmaps to provide actionable live feedback to the workshop’s participants.
