About

This site-specific installation explored how generative systems could respond directly to human presence, turning movement into an expressive visual language. Drawing from urban textures, city lights, and organic decay, the work was designed to feel reactive rather than pre-rendered, allowing visitors to experience the artwork as something shaped by their own physical motion.

Ruby trained a generative adversarial network on thousands of visual references and combined it with real-time pose estimation and motion sensing. As visitors moved through the space, their gestures were translated into shifting projections across a large-scale wall installation, producing dreamlike visuals that evolved continuously throughout the exhibition. The piece was presented during Nightshift at the LA Digital Art Biennale, where it drew sustained attendance, received critical recognition, and was later acquired for permanent display by a Berlin-based digital art museum.

Testimonial

The installation created a rare sense of dialogue between audience and system. It felt alive — not because of spectacle, but because of how sensitively it responded to human movement. The work stood out as one of the most emotionally engaging pieces in the exhibition.
