Co(AI)xistence with Mirai Moriyama & Alter (developed by Ishiguro lab, Osaka University and Ikegami Lab, Tokyo University)
Justine Emard’s piece Co(AI)xistence explores a communication between different forms of intelligences: human and machine. Through signals, body movements and spoken language, she created the interaction between Alter and Mirai Moriyama, a Japanese performer. Using a deep learning system, Alter learns from his experiences and the two try to define new perspectives of co-existence in the world.
Artist Justine Emard explores the new relationships that are established between our lives and technology. By combining the different mediums of the image - from photography to video and virtual reality - she places her work at the intersection of robotics, objects, organic life and artificial intelligence. Her devices are based on experiences of Deep-Learning and dialogue between man and machine. Since 2016, she has collaborated with scientific laboratories in Japan. For the creation of his films and video installations Reborn and Co (AI) xistence, she works with Mirai Moriyama, actor and dancer, as well as Alter, a humanoid robot developed by professors Takashi Ikegami and Hiroshi Ishiguro.
