Abstract
Human in the loop, by choreographer Nicole Seiler, is a piece in which human dancers execute a choreography created live by AI. It questions the power relationships between the performers and a digital choreographer.
Interaction
In machine learning, human in the loop is used in the sense of humans aiding the computer in making the correct decisions in building a model (Wikipedia). Human in the loop aims to achieve what neither a human being nor a machine can achieve on their own. (Levity)
For this project, we developed a tailor-made interface, using several artificial intelligence systems, as well as specially designed algorithms to generate the show’s content and drive it in real time.
