Project Focus
In AI Alien, I explored a more experimental question: why does AI always need to look or behave like humans?
My Role & Expertise Areas
This was a group project. My main contribution focused on early research, concept brainstorming, physical prototyping, improving the technical setup with AI support, building the concept from zero to one, final exhibition, poster design, and report writing. The project mainly supported my development in Creativity & Aesthetics and Technology & Realization.
Outcome
Instead of designing AI as a face, assistant, or chatbot, we used ferrofluid, magnets, voice input, and local AI processing to create a non-verbal physical presence. The AI responded through movement and material behavior rather than words.
Reflection
This project helped me expand my understanding of aesthetics and interaction. It showed me that materials can also communicate, and that visual and physical expression can create a different way of experiencing technology.
