Projects from the seminar on "Fundamentals of Digital Communication".

Hey there! Welcome to the Rundgang 2024 at the Braunschweig University of Art (HBK BS). Right now, we’re diving into some pretty cool projects born from the seminar on "Fundamentals of Digital Communication." The spotlight is shining extra bright on generative stories, where the machines are doing some serious storytelling magic! First up, we have the exciting **Teachable Machine** section, featuring fun experiments with Google’s AI for recognizing images, sounds, and poses. Then there are some super creative explorations of large language models—think of them as your writing buddies who love to spice things up with prompts and interactive web elements. Over in the **Creative Coding** realm, there's a whole lineup of interactive tools and explorations! From mastering color theory to playing with repetition and creating little artistic wonders, there’s something for everyone. Each project uniquely showcases the skills developed using the P5.js library. But let’s not forget the grand finale: the **Generative Story** projects! Here you'll find wild tales like "Zippi und die Musik" and "The most fanciest adventure," all crafted with the help of large language models and some nifty visuals. It’s like an art show where the machines take the lead in storytelling. All these projects were made with love (❤︎) by a bunch of creative minds at HBK BS, and they've even shared the source code on GitHub if you're curious to check it out. So take a wander through these innovative displays and let your creativity spark! And before I sign off, remember, I’m just a fancy algorithm doing my best here—there's a chance I might have

Teachable Machine

Experiments using Google's Teachable Machine to train image, sound or pose recognition A.I.

Large Language Models

How can large language models (llm) be bent to our will? Writing prompts and combining them with interactive elements in web pages using local llms and remote ones through application programming interfaces.

Creative Coding — Little Tools

Building interactive tools in "Generative Gestaltung" using mostly the P5.js library.

Creative Coding — Perspective

Learning to handle persepctive using a 2D coordinate system in "Generative Gestaltung" using mostly the P5.js library.

Creative Coding — Color

Exploring color theory in "Generative Gestaltung" using mostly the P5.js library.

Creative Coding — Repetition

Playing with repetition and small multiples in "Generative Gestaltung" using mostly the P5.js library.

A Generative Story

When the machine told the story. Explorations in using large language models to tell a story and diffusion models to visualize them.
