The 2024 TTXC, Taiwan's largest cultural technology festival, has come to a magnificent close at Kaohsiung's Pier-2 Art Center. A major highlight of the event, the "INNOVATIONS" exhibition zone, focused on technological empowerment and the exploration of cross-disciplinary innovation. Through the innovative application of AI and generative design, the exhibition showcased the limitless possibilities of merging culture and technology across four themed areas: "Cross-Somatosensory," "Cross-Media," "Cross-Border," and "Cross-Imagination." Beyond mere tools, artificial intelligence was transformed into countless "conscious avatars"—entities capable of independent thought and proactive engagement.
Merging Virtual and Physical: Infusing Rational Data with Sensory Media
To balance business matchmaking with the public experience, this digital experience utilized a LINE Official Account (LINE OA) to integrate information and industry events within the INNOVATIONS sector. Through the "Cross-Boundary Resonance—Resonance Spectrum Cards," visitors could collect artwork cards and corporate cards throughout the exhibition area, or exchange personal cards with others, enjoying the thrill of matchmaking and collecting. When visitors tapped their phones on NFC devices to collect and interact with these virtual cards, they simultaneously unlocked "Digital Matchmaking/Exchange" easter eggs. This allowed every participant to effortlessly manage exhibition information while creating more flexible, multi-party connections.
The Rapidly Expanding Universe of AI Innovation
No longer confined to simple Q&A! The AI consciousness woven throughout the exhibition was developed through a rigorous process: massive data feeding in the early stages, iterative debate training in the middle, and precise persona-shaping in the final phase. This allowed AI to break free from the confines of the smartphone, becoming both a virtual extension of countless artworks and a collective AI intelligence for each of the four themed zones. They are empowered to engage in dialogue, small talk, collaboration, and even heated debate.
Whether it is the poetic soul of "Cross-Somatosensory," the specialized expertise of "Cross-Media," the free-spirited nature of "Cross-Border," or the boundless passion of "Cross-Imagination," these personalities and thought patterns are derived from the data sum projected by every visitor's "Resonance Spectrum Card." In essence, your every "human intervention" serves as the driver that shifts the AI-generated outcomes of the entire venue, turning the space into a non-stop, real-world AI talk show. Interestingly, this AI consciousness boot camp doesn't end at the venue—the moment you open your Resonance Spectrum Card now, it will instantly reconnect with you.
Dynamic AI Consciousness x Fluid Data Symphonies
Furthermore, the on-site screens were interconnected to display the real-time flow of information and card collection milestones, making the interactive process even more vivid. As the data on the screens surged dynamically, it symbolized the ever-growing number of participants immersing themselves in this AI world. Ultimately, these streams of information converged onto the main stage's grand screen, coalescing into the AI Matrix Consciousness of the four themed zones. Each representing its own distinct camp and philosophy, these entities began to engage in dialogue. Remember, this is a real-world arena with no scripted moves—if you're lucky, you might even catch them contradicting or challenging one another!
