CHAIR DANCE
CREATING AN AI DATASET
BY: ME + AI
How do you make AI dance?
Can AI recognize the shape of a chair through images of a person interacting with a chair?
What does it mean to sit on a chair? What does AI define as sitting on a chair?
We are interested in how our bodies described a chair as an extension of human intelligence, through its function as something to sit on and by the space it occupies. With images of our physical human understanding of a chair we can test Runway’s AI model on how it generates images prompted by key words.
DATASET
How many ways can you “sit” on a chair? Everything, except the “sitting” body, is extracted from the image. The bodies become a dataset in Runway that can be used to generate new images with text or image prompts.

What is artificial intelligences definition of a chair?”
“Artificial intelligence has a functional definition of a chair, which refers to a type of object that is typically used for sitting. A chair in AI can be represented by a set of attributes, such as shape, size, color, and material, and by behaviors, such as the ability to support weight or be stacked.
In computer vision, for example, an AI system might be trained to recognize chairs in images based on their shape, texture, and other visual features. In this context, a chair would be defined as an object with certain attributes, such as four legs and a backrest, that distinguish it from other types of objects, such as tables or sofas.
It's important to note that while AI can recognize chairs based on their visual features and attributes, it does not have a subjective understanding of chairs like a human would. AI does not have personal experiences, memories, or emotions associated with chairs, and it does not appreciate the cultural, historical, or design significance of chairs in the same way that humans do.”
“DANCE”
“A COLLECTION OF MOVEMENTS, PATTERNS, AND STYLES IN HUMAN OR ANIMAL MOTION ”

“What is artificial intelligences definition of dance?”
“Artificial intelligence does not have a subjective definition of dance like a human would. Instead, AI views dance as a collection of movements, patterns, and styles in human or animal motion. These patterns can be quantified and analyzed, and AI can be trained to recognize certain styles, forms, or genres of dance.
For example, an AI system might be trained on a large dataset of dance videos, and then be used to classify new videos as either "modern dance," "ballet," or "jazz." The AI would make this classification based on the patterns it has learned from the training data, such as body positioning, arm movements, or footwork.
It's important to note that while AI can recognize patterns and make predictions about dance, it does not have a subjective understanding of dance like a human would. AI does not have feelings, emotions, or personal preferences, and it does not appreciate the beauty, creativity, or expression that define dance for humans. Additionally, AI may not fully understand the nuances and subtleties of human movement that are so important in dance.”
