Universal Everything's Future You Generates 47,000 Unique AI Portraits
The Universal Everything collective, based in Sheffield, England, released a video documenting their interactive installation Future You, commissioned by the Barbican Centre in London for the exhibition AI: More Than Human. The work explores artificial intelligence in connection with personal identity. Situated at the exhibition entrance, Future You appears as a large mirror but displays algorithmically generated abstract forms instead of the viewer's reflection. Using custom software, the image learns from what it sees and continuously changes, creating a different configuration for each spectator with 47,000 possible variations.
