Spaces Reimagined—Digital and Physical

Ruby trained multilingual language models and image generators on folklore, poems, and oral histories from five endangered languages, including Ainu, Sámi, and Mapuche. The resulting artwork was a visual-poetic series titled Mother Tongue, pairing original audio clips with morphing AI-generated visuals reflecting cultural symbolism and linguistic structure.

Ruby created a series of AI-generated short films titled Dreamscape Ads, where audio-reactive visuals evolved based on the actual soundscape of the headphones in use. Each piece was tailored to a different ambient sound genre—rainforest, city street, café, white noise—demonstrating how the headphones transformed chaotic noise into immersive serenity.

Users from over 60 countries submitted images of what “the future” meant to them. Ruby’s custom-trained AI used these inputs to continuously evolve a massive, living artwork. The piece changed hourly, pulling from real-time contributions and growing into a communal expression of humanity’s collective imagination.

Ruby trained a generative adversarial network (GAN) on thousands of images of city lights, urban decay, and natural textures. The final piece—Echoes of Light—was a projection-based installation that “read” visitors’ movements through motion sensors and transformed them into shifting, dreamlike visuals in real time.

Ruby collaborated with Chromat’s design team to train a custom AI model on past collections, runway footage, and futuristic textures. The result was a surreal, immersive “digital runway” experience—featuring AI-generated models wearing garments that didn’t exist physically but echoed Chromat’s aesthetic. The show was streamed online with interactive elements that let viewers influence visual shifts in real time.
