| summary |
Built on a Situated Computations framework, this project explores preservation, reconfiguration, and presentation of heritage through immersive virtual experiences, and machine learning for new understandings and possibilities (Noel 2020; 2017; Leach and Campo 2022; Leach 2021). Using the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival - hereinafter referred to as Carnival - as a case study, Carnival + AI is a series of immersive experiences in design, culture, and artificial intelligence (AI). These virtual spaces create new digital modes of engaging with cultural heritage and reimagined designs of traditional sculptures in the Carnival (Noel 2021). The project includes three virtual events that draw on real events in the Carnival: (1) the Virtual Gallery, which builds on dancing sculptures in the Carnival and showcases AI-generated designs; (2) Virtual J’ouvert built on J’ouvert in Carnival with AI-generated J’ouvert characters specific; and (3) Virtual Mas which builds on the masquerade. |
