Abstract
This paper describes the artistic context, technical implementation, user study, evaluation and future work around reconFIGURE, a participatory installation exploring the transformation of human bodies through computational systems. The installation involves capturing visitors’ images, transforming these into animated 3D doppelgängers, and projecting them on a large-screen. Unique in its rapid transformation from 2D to 3D, reconFIGURE highlights the aesthetic-social repercussions of transforming whole human body images using machine learning.
