Form:
Through the metaphor of hands, this work investigates two main points of intricacy: 1.) the presence of hands in connection and 2.) a sustained investigation in which we evaluate the relationship between understanding and replication. Artificial intelligence is utilized and guided to creation through the images of our hands, but it fails under the principles of understanding and replication. AI does not understand what hands are or what they do. AI cascades into the unknown when it comes to the replication of hands.
Content:
How does one communicate through hands? How does one express through hands? How does one incorporate the use of technology and combine it with human interaction to conceptualize understanding and replication? Using tools like the RED Dragon camera, Stable Diffusion, and DaVinci Resolve, the project video consists of many clips of hand-to-hand interactions between characters and AI-generated animations. The keyframes for each AI animation consisted of a prompt of the label that was retrieved from the KNN classification.
Method:
Still frames from the RED camera are classified through KNN classification via ml5.js, and then the labels are incorporated into creating AI animations via Stable Diffusion's Deforum. Raw footage and Ai animations are montaged together via DaVinci Resolve. The themes of connection inspired us, so we chose a soundtrack with a romantic/sensual vibe. Subsequently, edited the video to the rhythm of the selected song. We have also experimented in overlaying/cropping several clips simultaneously, also to the beat of the music.
