Diffusion TV: Experiencing Diffusion Models through Tangible, Embodied Interaction

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Diffusion TV is an interactive AI art installation that transforms a CRT TV into a tangible interface for diffusion models. By physically adjusting the TV’s antenna, users control the clarity of AI-generated images and sounds, symbolically mirroring the denoising process that underlies diffusion-based generation. The installation offers three channels—Past, Present, and Future—featuring AI-generated animals, allowing participants to explore intermediate states of the generative process through continuous audiovisual feedback.

Passing: An Endless Journey through Reconstructed Spacetime with AI-Generated Sound

Passing is an interactive audiovisual installation that transforms a single continuous monorail-window recording into an endless journey by reconstructing it as a spatiotemporal volume and resampling its spatial and temporal structure along nonlinear trajectories. A camera-based viewer‑presence detection system influences transitions among rendered video sequences, and the resulting video stream is fed into SpecMaskFoley, a real‑time video‑to‑audio synthesis model that generates a synchronized soundscape. The work distributes creative agency among the artist, the AI model, and the audience, exploring how authorship and listening can be negotiated among human intention, machine inference, and audience interpretation.
