Wednesday this week was our studio’s exhibition! I absolutely loved getting to go around the room and immerse myself in the amazing final Assignments of my class. We set up the room so that everybody had a little station with a TV and headphones so that we could really enjoy experiencing the projects. All of them were amazing, I don’t think I could pick a favourite or even a couple favourites! A few of the projects that really wowed me included one where the group had made an entire website that included different tabs you could click on and explore finding news reports, dark web vibe content, an art exhibition, and a dating site! It was all very creative and a very entertaining way of utilising AI! Another was a radio station surround sound experience where you put on headphones and were suddenly driving in a car listening to the radio station! This was also a very clever way of incorporating AI through the sounds that made the experience feel freakishly realistic!! All the projects were very impressive.

It was also a funny experience to walk around the room, while also keeping an eye on my groups own project, and see the reactions of people who were seeing it for the first time. Ally and I had a lot of people telling us they enjoyed ours which was lovely to hear after being slightly nervous about having myself being watched on a TV dancing to an 80s style song dressed in full 80s pop star clothes! People found it fascinating how we had utilised AI to create our song lyrics and music together, where we then learnt the lyrics to create our music video. Some people mentioned how real and authentic the interview felt as well! We also incorporated a few AI visuals such as dancing robots on 80s televisions for added effect which people seemed to love as well!

Overall, I think Ally and I (and AI), produced a great project that was entertaining and showcased how we collaborated with AI to bring to life an 80s pop stars single! I had a lot of fun at the exhibition and over the semester in this class! I am very glad I did this class as it has given me a new perspective on the capabilities of what people can do when they are openminded to some input from artificial intelligence!
