ABSTRACT
This demonstration paper describes [self.], an open source art installation that embodies artificial intelligence in order to learn, react, respond and be creative in its environment. Biologically inspired models are implemented to achieve this behaviour. The robot is built using a moving head, projector, camera and microphones. No form of knowledge or grammar have been implemented in the AI, the entity learns everything via its own sensory channels, forming categories in a bottom-up fashion. The robot recognizes sounds, and is able to recognize similar sounds, link them with the corresponding faces, and use the knowledge of past experiences to form new sentences. It projects neural memories that represent an association between sound and video as experienced during interaction.

[self.]: an Interactive Art Installation that Embodies Artificial Intelligence and Creativity
C&C '15: Proceedings of the 2015 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Creativity and CognitionThis paper describes [self.], an open source art installation that embodies artificial intelligence (AI) in order to learn, react, respond and be creative in its environment. Biologically inspired models are implemented to achieve this behaviour. The ...
The development of a cybernetic sculptor: Edward Ihnatowicz and the senster
C&C '05: Proceedings of the 5th conference on Creativity & cognitionEdward Ihnatowicz (1926-1988) built one of the world's first computer-controlled robotic sculptures, The Senster, in 1968-70. Rather than concentrate entirely on this groundbreaking and influential piece of work, this paper describes the stages he went ...
[self.]: Realization / Art Installation / Artificial Intelligence: A Demonstration
Entertainment Computing - ICEC 2015AbstractThis interactive installation paper describes [self.], an open source art installation where the people interacting with it determine its auditory and visual vocabulary. When the system starts, it knows nothing since the authors have decided that ...
