ReWilding AI

Presented by Radical Matter proto-Centre in the RCA School of Arts & Humanities and Digital Direction in the School of Communication.

Both projects are funded by AidLab, the first research platform that focuses on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with design. AidLab was jointly established by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and the RCA, and is funded by the HKSAR Government under the InnoHK Research Clusters.

Experience Polymorph, a physical AI system that generates a sensuous, playful world of light, vibration and shifting forms, inspired by psychedelic skin transformations and emergent camouflaged topologies of cephalopods.

Travel through a multi-dimensional maze of immersive portals, shapeshifting across knowledge systems and new materials, encountering AI through the roll of the dice.
