Abstract:
This paper describes the conceptual background, artificial intelligent (AI) system design, and visualization strategies of an interactive AI art experience: ReCollection. In the art installation, the artwork assembles collective visual memories based on participants’ language input, blurring the boundaries between remembrance and imagination through intelligent system design and experimental visualization. By providing a conceptual framework for non-linear narratives, constituting symbiotic imaginations for memories, this artwork aims to provide an inclusive art experience that inspires collective memory reproduction by providing an intimate recollection of symbiosis between beings and apparatus. Furthermore, this work provides a future prototype that cultivates empathy for the dementia community by investigating the tensions in the correlations between visual representations and narratives, as well as these between the past, present, and future.
