HANDS ON

Merging AI &
Social Media
MUSEUM OF ME MIRRORS
REALITIES IN THIS UNIQUE,
IMMERSIVE AI CREATION
By Heather Kristian Strang

➞ A C C E N T U R E B R A Z I L C O M M I S S I O N E D New York-based
design firm Cactus with an incredible task-to create an audio-visual experience that merges artificial
intelligence (AI) and social media. Visitors to São
Paulo's Museum of Me (MoM) are being swept away
by this art installation that curates content from
their social media accounts and places it right before
their very eyes (and ears).
Once inside the space, guests enter their social
media handle, and the software then creates a twominute customized experience featuring a vivid
collage of their social media content. This content
includes everything from emojis, comments, likes,
images, audio and animation.
"The Museum of Me is art. It is meant to be beautiful," says Noah Waxman, head of strategy for Cactus.
"It is meant to provoke reflection. It is also meant to
explore something about the times we are living in
where reality is open to alteration and interpretation-by ourselves, by others and even by machines."
The MoM installation is comprised of 48 screens
of various sizes and is constructed in a 15-ft.-by15-ft.-by-10-ft. steel frame with mirror panels and
external lightboxes for quick assembly and travel.
The experience will never be the same twice for any
user, as each time a guest enters the installation, the
software creates a brand-new reflection of their life
through social media.
