Carnival AI Sketchbook
Below are web applications we created to celebrate and engage the Caribbean and Black communities. We bridged the gap between art and artificial intelligence - calling upon our nostalgic memories of Carnival to make a visual representation of bodily movement. Currently, there is a lack of P.O.C. in AI-related spaces. We hope to inspire others in our community to create S.T.E.A.M. projects. These are inspired by the PoseNet Sketchbook made by Maya Man for her collaboration with choreographer Bill T. Jones at Google Creative Lab.
