Installation · 2023
A sculptural installation that externalises an internal landscape through suspended structure, shadow and technological material.
MindScape combines artificial intelligence, personal photographs and Microsoft Kinect tracking to produce an interactive three-dimensional visual space. Instead of viewing memory as a fixed image, visitors move through and influence a field built from transformed photographic data.
Project framework
Process and approach
A convolutional neural network analyses the source photographs and reduces their image embeddings into coordinates suitable for a spatial composition. The resulting dataset becomes the structure of the visual environment, connecting machine interpretation with the emotional associations of the original images.
The work is built in Processing with KinectPV2, PeasyCam and ControlP5. A Kinect sensor reads the visitor’s body movement and allows them to navigate the particle-based 3D space. Interaction therefore happens through physical presence rather than a conventional mouse or touchscreen.
The surviving project record includes the Processing particle-cloud system, reduced image embeddings and data-conversion tools. Together they document how the photographic archive was translated from image files into a responsive spatial experience.
