Culture Cloth

An interactive installation using generative AI to paint the walls around you.

As an Experiment with generative AI’s for interactive experiences, Culture Cloth explores the idea of walls that mimic your clothing in delightfully imperfect ways. People’s clothing can mark changes in mood, weather, style, seasons, occasions, and important events. In this way, a physical space is colored by the collective clothing choices of its inhabitants.
