Reservoir A/V performance at Tedx KeioU conference
This study explores new possibilities for artistic expression by utilizing reservoir computing in an improvisational call-and-response session between a human performer (Professor Fujii) and a machine learning system.
By leveraging the dynamic internal state changes of reservoir computing, we developed a system capable of generating complex rhythms and a sense of groove, creating a structure where the performer and the system mutually influence each other. As a result, the reservoir computing model demonstrated its ability to provide new inspiration to the performer through improvisational responses, enabling co-creative performance. Furthermore, its integration with visual expression revealed new possibilities for artistic expression.
