What we do

UN YAMADA×TAKASHI IKEGAMI PROJECT

  • Organization : Co.YamadaUn
  • Section : None
  • Type of Grant Program : Single

Outline

Improvisation dance with freely moving drones and robots, discussions with multiple GPT-3 models, and dance performances in a VR world. Through conversations between dancers who embody physical expression and AI entities that exist without bodies, this project seeks the relationship between machines and humans.
We will share the work-in-progress and talk sessions that took place in May 2023 through an on-demand streaming service. These sessions explore the open-ended possibilities brought forth by the combination of art and science.
