Live participatory experience / Sorgenia / Piano B

Your Love Energy

One conversation changes the room.

For Sorgenia, a conversation between a performer and a participant became a changing environment of light, sound and images. Your Love Energy brought AI into a live encounter at Triennale Milano's Festival dell'Amore.

01 / THE CHALLENGE

How can one person's response become a shared experience?

02 / THE EXPERIENCE

A participant listens to a love story told by a performer. A camera captures facial expressions and AI-based analysis feeds changes in the surrounding light, sound and images. The conversation remains personal, while the audience experiences its changing audiovisual setting. Live music adds another response to the encounter.

03 / DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY

Created with Piano B for Sorgenia, the installation carries the research of LIMB.0 into a public brand experience. We connected the performance with an audiovisual system that could respond in real time. The technology estimates facial expressions; it does not directly measure love or an inner emotional state. The story and the exchange between people remain at the centre.

04 / IMPACT

550 performer interactions within a shared live experience.

Project records document 550 interactions with performers, distinct from the installation's overall audience. Each personal encounter became something the surrounding public could experience through the changing space. Trade publication e20 Express reported more than 2,500 guests over the two festival days; Wired also covered the project in June 2019. The work carried Amigdala's independent research into a live experience for Sorgenia.
