Between Human and Algorithm: Designing Games for Live AI PerformanceMichael Rau


What happens when human movement becomes the controller for real-time AI art generation? Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring the intersection of performance, artificial intelligence, and game design.

Using a live AI system that transforms webcam feeds into artistic interpretations—turning performers into Greek statues, or abstract paintings—we'll collaboratively prototype game mechanics and social dynamics for this emerging medium. Participants will experience the  magic between human gesture and AI response, then help design the rules, goals, and interactions that could turn this technology into meaningful play.

This session combines live demonstration, group brainstorming, and rapid prototyping. Come ready to move, suggest prompts, and help solve the fundamental question: how do we create engaging feedback loops between human creativity and artificial intelligence? Perfect for game designers, artists, and anyone curious about the future of interactive media.
