DESCRIPTION:Watch your reflection morph into characters or creatures based 
 on creative prompts! \n\n \n\nExperience how to turn a dataset into a dess
 ert! Two thought-provoking\, interactive AI installations explore the inte
 rplay between artificial intelligence\, data\, and human experience\, high
 lighting how these elements can be harnessed to transform our perceptions 
 of self and environment. \n\n \n\nIncarnation: Step into a pseudo room spa
 ce and encounter a mirror that transforms your reflection in real-time usi
 ng AI. "Incarnation" allows visitors to incarnate various identities\, fro
 m different ages to origins and even species\, providing a profound explor
 ation of self-perception and transformation. This installation challenges 
 traditional notions of identity\, encouraging visitors to reflect on the f
 luidity and multiplicity of self in the digital age. \n\n \n\nDiGiWAGASHi:
  Inspired by Wagashi\, the traditional Japanese confectionery art\, DataWa
 gashi is a dessert that blends taste\, smell\, touch\, and texture with da
 ta communication. DiGiWAGASHi is a cross-platform browser app that transfo
 rms climate data into tangible\, multisensory DataWagashi experiences. Pow
 ered by Generative AI\, DiGiWAGASHi allows users to explore various enviro
 nmental datasets and generate unique recipes to create DataWagashi at home
  based on their data choices. DiGiWAGASHi aims to make climate data engagi
 ng and accessible\, promoting environmental awareness through everyday pra
 ctices. \n\n \n\nV.Lab is an award-winning multidisciplinary design label 
 based in Cambridge\, MA\, specializing in experience design innovation\, d
 igital and physical product design\, speculative design\, and multimedia a
 rt direction. We blend experimental experiences with market-ready ideas to
  create tangible futures focused on emerging technology\, climate and sust
 ainability\, health and wellbeing\, and everyday life. At V.Lab\, Vending\
 , Variety\, and Vision converge. They champion the ethos of self-service a
 nd hybridity by vending diverse ideas\, curating immersive multimodal expe
 riences\, and enabling our clients to bring visionary projects to life. \n
