SIGGRAPH 2025 FRONTIERS DEMONSTRATION Hybrid Dance Xplorations with Generative AI
DescriptionIn this special demonstration with the Frontiers workshop, Hybrid Dance Xplorations: Artist-Centric XR/AI Sandbox for Co-Creation and Performance, we feature the latest real-time generative AI work of artist and scientist Steve DiPaola, work-in-play of spatial artist Juliana Loh (Forest Wild XR), and our collaborators in an XR/AI sandbox with a virtual camera system (PeelDev VCam) and touchless interactions (NZTech HoverTap) for hybrid dance, movement and performance.

Forest Wild XR is Juliana's deeply personal work that metaphorically traces her mother's journey with Alzheimer’s, capturing the emotional terrain of a condition that erodes memory, identity, and connection. This first xploration, work-in-play, leads us to the healing power of nature in three emotional beats through art, dance & tech.
This Special Siggraph 2025 Frontiers Hybrid Dance Xplorations Demonstration is sponsored by Simon Fraser University | School of Interactive Arts & Technology.
