Year:
2024
Country:

Project type:
Immersive Experience
Description:
Ancestors will be a new Smartphone Orchestra experience focusing on connecting the audience using a very ‘familiar’ way (pun intended).
How does it work?
First, you take a selfie. Then, using AI, we create the face of a virtual child from your selfie and that of another (random!) audience member, making both of you virtual parents.
Next, both of you progress as grandparents of a virtual grandchild together with another couple.
Eventually, the whole audience becomes one big family! The ancestors of a virtual great-great-great-great-grandchild.
Just imagine the conversations you’ll have about how to take care of future generations.
