From concept to exhibition: on the creative process of an AI-driven stereoscopic video installation

This paper explores the creative process surrounding spectral spaces, an AI-driven video installation that reinterprets stereoscopic imaging through contemporary digital techniques. By combining generative AI with optical principles, the work challenges conventional visual perception, creating an unstable, fluctuating field of engagement. The installation adopts a structured viewing approach that encourages an individualized interaction, heightening awareness of the act of seeing. Through a juxtaposition of historical apparatuses and algorithmically generated imagery, it examines the evolving relationship between materiality and digital intangibility. Audience responses gathered during its exhibition provided insights into the perceptual dynamics at play, revealing how the interplay of stereoscopy and artificial intelligence fosters sustained exploration and introspection. The findings suggest that this approach not only expands the expressive possibilities of stereoscopic media but also raises critical questions about the mediation of vision through technology, illustrating how reimagined historical techniques can inform and transform contemporary artistic practices.
