Trëma
2023
Interactive Audiovisual Installation
Description
Trëma is an artistic installation combining artificial intelligence and human creativity. At the heart of the Lumifest festival, this gigantic structure invites attendees to become the composers of a digital symphony.
An artificial agent serves as the digital brain of Trëma. It learns from humans by receiving positive or negative feedback. Festival-goers can guide the agent by sharing their opinions on the musical and visual atmospheres presented.
Using a reinforcement learning approach, the artificial agent adapts in real time to the preferences of the audience. The resulting symphony is an immersive experience that merges creative talent with the evolving capabilities of artificial intelligence.
