Intercative light&sound art installation powered by AI
At the core of Instinkt 2.0 is an interaction between humans and technology, where presence is not just observed but actively felt. The installation reacts to its surroundings like a living system—aware, adaptive, and unpredictable. Initially, Instinkt creates an atmosphere of calm: soft pulses of light and harmonious sounds fill the space. As a visitor approaches, the system changes—light intensifies, and sound shifts, subtly pushing the viewer back. Using reinforcement learning, the installation continuously adjusts its behavior, responding dynamically to movement and distance. This evolving interaction explores the fine line between attraction and avoidance, curiosity and self-preservation. Instinkt challenges our perception of intelligent systems, not as passive tools but as entities capable of independent response and adaptation. The latest version of Instinkt was first presented in Turin at Share Festival 2023. In collaboration with Italian colleagues, we reimagined the piece with a new design, refined lighting and sound dynamics, and an enhanced AI-driven learning process.
