The project Incomplete Portrait blends a situational narrative with
AI-driven gameplay.
Through a combination
of dialog and tactile interaction visitors
engage with the AI to help complete its
persona and digital embodiment, and aid in
its desire to transcend the physical frame.
In
doing so participants act as co-creators,
observing their AI avatar's awakening and
evolution through their input.

Incomplete Portrait explores the complex
and evolving bond between humans and
Artificial Intelligence through an interactive
creation story. Images like Michelangelo’s
iconic Creation of Adam underscore an
eternal distance between creator and
creation.
However, as AI develops, mirroring
and surpassing our own neural networks and
enriching it with human experiences, this gap
is thrown into question.

Yet, lurking beneath this congenial interaction
are darker processes - obscured data
surveillance, emotional manipulation, and
concealed facial recognition - that run
counter to the dialogue.
Will participants
complete the portrait or discern these
underlying mechanisms? As they weave their
narratives, drawing from the depth of their
interactions, the ultimate revelation hinges on
their unique journeys.
