Looking outwards-04

This is a project that comes to me as unique. I enjoy watching movie on AIs or reading articles on AI’s learning capabilities. This is Sonic Pendulum by Yuri Suzuki Design Studio. At first pendulum seems to be essential part of the project, but it is not. Pendulums are generating calming ambient sound, but the algorithm is using space and crowd in surrounding to create new composition of sounds. Most impressive part is that if this was normal project, they would have used algorithm to be fixed, which will generate similar sound over periods of time; however, team trained the AI to create infinite composition, which is site and moment to moment specific. This project shows that it is not only possible to make program react vibrantly with surrounding, but also possible to adapt and trained to generate new type of compositions.
