Concept
Refik Anadol and Maurice Benayoun started the DïaloG project as an art experiment and an urban media art installation. Two artworks are facing and trying to understand each other.
DïaloG a is a public art, generative, interactive, and evolutionist project. The art subject, able to perceive its environment, and afferent cognitive functions: artificial intelligence, artificial intentionality, and autonomous behaviour, may also experience a new form of affectivity.

Challenges and Problem-solving
Challenges and Problem-solving
Challenges:
A) Create a creature with human emotions.
B) Tight schedule with large scope: 1.5 months to show a 1-year progress
C) Interactive patterns with Kinect.
Problem-solving:
A)Defining project scope
Abandon UE 4.21 Flex, and upgrade to UE 4.26 Niagara, rebuild the entire system.
Use "archetypal analysis"(an AI framework) to display emotional status.
Highly customise the Unreal Niagara particle system.
Technical test -> Functional test -> Acceptance Test -> Optimisation -> Open parameters for potential changes
B) Identifying deliverables
Remove unrealistic goals, focus on what can be done
Prioritising tasks
Implement Human-Computer Interaction elements - Kinect v2
Work closely with the team.
C）Managing risks
Debug and fine-tune on-site.
