Abstract

In this demonstration, we present a holographic projected version of LuminAI, which is an interactive art installation that allows participants to collaborate with an AI dance partner by improvising movements together. By utilizing a mix of a top-down and bottom-up approach, we seek to understand embodied co-creativity in an improvisational dance setting to better develop the design of the modular AI agent to creatively collaborate with a dancer. The purpose of this demonstration is to describe the five-module agent design and investigate how we can design an immersive experience that is design-efficient, portable, light, and duo-user participation. Through this installation in an imitated black box space, audience members and dancers engage in an immersive co-creative dance experience, inspiring discussion on the limitless applications of dance and technology in the realms of learning, training, and creativity.
