The AI performance explores the scientific concept of dream re-living, using a 3D generative diffusion model to translate whispered dream memories into real-time visualisations of dream objects. In doing so, it allows participants to explore a shared “dreamscape”, turning dreams into a public, collective experience.
Pinyao Liu is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in Vancouver, Canada and Linz, Austria. His practice explores 3D generative AI and immersive technology for altered states of consciousness and transformative experiences. His interactive AI artwork has been exhibited at Ars Electronica Festival (AT), the 13th Shanghai Biennale (CN), Vancouver International Film Festival VR Gallery (CA), IEEE VR Art Gallery (FR), MUTEK (CA), SIGGRAPH Immersive Pavilion (US) and CVPR AI Art Gallery. His research has been published and presented in the Leonardo Journal by MIT Press, ACM CHI and NeurIPS.
