LightSense introduces a new generation of responsive architecture. It invites the audience to engage in intimate and meaningful interaction with a living architectural body. The kinetic construction combines a lightweight structure with 3D holographic animations. An integrated AI system, which has been trained on sixty thousand poems, allows the structure to engage, lead and sustain conversations with the visitor. LightSense inspires the audience to engage in direct communication about topics we care about. Its responses are truly associative, unpredictable, meaningful, magical and deeply emotional. LightSense listens with interest and curiosity before responding from a personal viewpoint. Analyzing the emotional tenor of this conversation, the system is able to transform into a series of hybrid architectural volumes, immersing the visitors in Pavilions of Love, Anger, Curiosity and Joy.
