Abstract

GANs and Poses is an interactive multi-media installation using human poses to control artificial neural networks generating parts for a music arrangement. To provide incentive for interaction, a game-style UI rewards the audience with audio-visual feedback, which in turn drives the progress through the musical arrangement. This work uses a variety of artificial neural networks to (i) detect persons and their body posture, (ii) classify dance moves, and (iii) generate drum as well as melody patterns.
