ENSEMBLE
“Ensemble - an intelligent kinetic artwork that draws you in and encourages connection and play with others.”
Ensemble is a suspended, interactive structure powered by Microsoft’s early AI learning algorithms, showcasing how collective interactions can create unique, positive outcomes. At a time when AI was not yet widely understood, this installation made complex technology accessible and inviting through playfulness and collaboration.
As visitors approach, pleated paper blossoms and syncs with sound, encouraging participants to engage with the piece. The structure responds to movement in real time, allowing participants’ actions to create a harmonious soundscape and dynamic visuals. This innovative use of AI invites people to explore complex systems in a way that feels both engaging and poetic.
