New production, Ancestors has started taking shape this autumn – we are generating visual simulations of future human generations from audience members. Ancestors is continuation for Captured (2021), diving deeper in the narrative potential of digital doubles.
Presented at VRDays, IFFR and IDFA
Ancestors, a new immersive project co-created together with Steye Hallema, combines face capturing with GAN networks. We are very happy to be part of Sundance New Frontier Story Lab line-up this year. Ancestors generates an imaginary family tree synthesized from the faces of the audience, narrating a speculative fiction about the future of human kinship and reproduction.
Life as an image is a participatory simulation, where people model a 3D double from themselves. Digital doubles are animated in a historical scene as actors, whose activities and gestures are controlled by real-time animation system. The artwork deals with new, hyper-realistic capturing and 3D modeling techniques and their social implications on human relationships.

Oioicollective received funding from AVEK Creademo to produce a prototype from Cosmetic Space research project, which we have initiated together fall 2014. Cosmetic Space is modular and portable 3D sensing/projector technology, which illuminates space and people with interactive ornament.
Cosmetic Space is a collaboration between me and OioiCollective.
