Abstract

In this paper, we will be introducing an art installation titled “The Museum of Dreams,”—which is an interactive system incorporating AI and machine learning techniques to create a “dreaming” experience for the participant and the audience. It’s a screen-based installation connected to a webcam placed on top of the screen and facing towards the participants. When the participants approach the installation, the system will read their movement and then translate the data, synchronize and generate images with varying shapes with vivid colors and smooth gradients in real-time.
