I have been working on designing a novel interface for utilizing image and sound AI models in audiovisual performance. As an early experiment, I created a prototype that generates images and sounds with pre-trained models in response to real-time webcam and mic input. The prototype was demonstrated in one of Exit Points' performances on August 30, 2024 at Arraymusic, which was organized by Michael Palumbo.
The prototype uses SpecVQGAN for sound generation and StreamDiffusion with Stable Diffusion XL Turbo for image generation, both with modifications.
