This exhibit features two complementary pieces. The Psychogeographer's Table consists of a semi-opaque glass projection surface representing the Halifax harbour and solid pine CNC-shaped forms for land. Projection mapping is used to project content on the tabletop, including aerial photographs, historical maps, and live data. Additional computer-generated content, images, and video can be interactively explored using a Microsoft HoloLens head-mounted augmented reality display. In the same space and throughout the evening, a grand piano will be used to play live pieces that are co-created by musicians and machine learning models.
