MARI KUSSMAN

HyperSubtle

I acted as a character designer on HyperSubtle, a project by Superbright. HyperSubtle is an interactive immersive installation commissioned by HP for the Lab at Panorama music festival. It pairs artificial intelligence with motion capture data of iconic pop culture choreographies to deliver a unique experience about dance, nostalgia and music festivals.

The companion mobile app, which can be used beyond the festival experience, leverages the microphone on devices to automatically match choreographies with music from your surroundings using AI. Audiences can select multiple characters, augment their environment with a virtual party, and make videos to share online.
