From the very beginning of image generation using artificial intelligence, LAB7\u2019s creative director Samuel T\u00e9treault envisioned the creative potential of this technology used in a dialogue with live performance and human movement. We went through several iterations to explore generative AI tools as they were evolving, to bring this vision to life.<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

For our first exploration in 2023<\/strong>, we simply used artificial intelligence to transform pre-recorded videos, confirming the creative potential of our concept. Then one of our interns, a computer engineer graduating student, built a first prototype of a solution to create a \u201clive\u201d interaction between human movement and generative AI. This pipeline combined a video camera, silhouette cropping, and searching an image bank that had been generated beforehand.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The second iteration of the project, in the summer of 2024,<\/strong> replaced the video camera with a Kinect camera and relied on the integration of Stable Diffusion into Comfy UI. Under the creative direction of Samuel <\/span>T\u00e9treault<\/span>, we created several visual recipes and invited acrobatic dancers to bring them to life. Th<\/span>is prototype was<\/span> presented at Forum LAB7 in November 2024 and then at the E-AI conference in February 2025. The system<\/span> could<\/span> <\/span>process<\/span> <\/span>10 i<\/span>mages per second, which resulted in a slightly jerky rendering and influenced certain artistic choices, particularly in terms of the rhythm of the performance.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
