Our solution maximised the grandeur of the gallery space whilst providing plentiful opportunities for small-scale interaction – reflecting both the enormity of the changes in AI technology and the very personal impacts they will have.

Project Details

Central to this idea is the presence of our AI Human or ‘HumAIn’ hero figure at the heart of the gallery. This enigmatic but powerful symbol of the convergence between biology and technology provides an organising element around which the other gallery themes are arranged.

The first theme area called Memory Lane was a chronological presentation of a memoir, which actually shows the history of science and how artificial intelligence has progressed from the past to the present, including the history of robotics, the history of the information age and the past of artificial intelligence.

The second theme area – Intelligent Building – displays the principles of robots and artificial intelligence as well as the robot industrial assembly line. Through the assembly line in series, the five components of the robot are decrypted.

The third theme area is Infinite City: it mainly displays the application of intelligent robots in modern advanced fields, and displays intelligent robots in the form of scenes combined with robots applications in modern and advanced fields.

Theatre Vision: this theater emphasizes immersive experience, combined with mission setting. The interaction between real people and robots is the key theme and the narrative has an open ending, and audience interaction may determine the course of the plot, leading to different subplots.
