Majo is an AI/XR character that can converse, make (AI) art, print it and even see images in which she can recognize herself.

TASK

To take a resolution to a conflict with the “lifelessness” of artificial intelligence through symbiotic AI-human experimentation, exploring three approaches: the artist and his exploration of authorship, the technician and his delight with tinkering, and the human being with his heartfelt need of connection.

IDEA

Bringing to life an AI character named Majo, a virtual being who adopts the role of a young artist going through the Artist’s Dilemma. She thinks and expresses herself through AI, manifests through Mixed Reality on a spatial scale and attempts to find meaning through her interaction with humans.

SOLUTION

A storytelling experience in Mixed Reality: Majo, an AI-driven artist, senses the room, talks with the visitor and generates art in response.
