STUDENT WORK

Cell Space

By Rem RunGu Lin, Botao Amber Hu, Koo Yongen Ke, Wei Wu

Cell Space is an interactive performance that integrates collocated AR, neurofeedback, and contact improvisation to cultivate a collective, bio-digitally mediated experience—reimagining participants as interconnected "cells" within a dynamic and evolving ecosystem.

AI Rays

By Ziyao Gao, Ling Li, Yiwen Zhang

AI-rays is an interactive installation that playfully exposes how AI interprets appearance. Participants’ looks are scanned, and the system generates speculative identities expressed as imagined personal items placed in their bags. Using “X-ray” visions to contrast reality with AI-made assumptions, the work highlights the biases and scrutiny of modern surveillance while sparking reflection on the future of human–machine relations.

Drift of the Uncharted

By Ary-Yue HUANG, Qing QIN, Wengzong MA, Bingyuan WANG

Drift of the Uncharted is a robotic art installation that imagines cities reshaped by rising seas. Using 3D Gaussian Splatting, landscape scans, and game-engine simulations, it reconstructs vulnerable regions and floods them with virtual water. A quadruped robot roams the space, projecting these speculative futures onto the environment—an eerie glimpse into climate change’s impact on urban life.

Ink Blossom

By Jiawen Zhang, Jiaqi Shi, Mingyu Chen

Ink Blossom merges generative AI with the living heritage of Chinese ethnic embroidery. Participants sketch on a wooden embroidery frame, and AI transforms their drawings into authentic designs inspired by Miao and Qiang traditions. Trained LoRA models preserve these unique visual languages, offering a real-time collaboration between technology and tradition. Developed with Liping Shi, National Inheritor of Songtao Miao Embroidery, and the Digital Qiang Garden Residency.
