\u201cThe Shadowplay installation facilitates creative and embodied interaction with a generative AI image diffusion model. The work aspires to facilitate a tangible experience of working with generative AI and produces striking, aesthetic, and provocative images exposing the edges of our creative relationships with this new class of technology. Exhibition-goers enter into a generative interplay between the probabilistic uncertainty of AI technologies, the familiarity of light, and the experimental playfulness of using one\u2019s body to cast a shadow. By enabling a tangible interaction with this rapidly-evolving technology, we probe the quality and nature of AI-mediated imaginaries, while also providing a \u2018lived\u2019 means to experience the limits of its expressiveness and the inseparable ties to underlying training data. Shadowplay balances a provocative and critical stance on AI and creativity, produces a captivating stream of beautiful and striking imagery, and achieves this through an engaging, playful, and tangible interaction.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
