# Reflection-Based AI Installations Ultravioletto Curates a Mirror-Dependent Installation in Spoleto By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-07-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-installations References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/07/12/ultravioletto-neural-mirror-ai-reflection-design/) & [ultraviolet.to](http://ultraviolet.to/) Italian design studio Ultravioletto organized an [interactive AI installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/data-driven-digital-experience) in a former church in the city of Spoleto. The experience is centered around a mirror that utilizes artificial intelligence and [facial recognition technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loook-ai) to communicate "an otherworldly image of" individuals who peer into the glass. Audiences are met with a seemingly normal mirror at first. The algorithm has the ability to identify a person by approximately quantifying their sex, age, race, and likely emotional state. When this process is complete, the AI installation "obscures the mirror" and showcases a "[ghostly, rainbow-colored reflection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection) [of the] viewer." The idea that Ultravioletto entertained through its mirror is to identify the relationship between humans and technology, as well as the possible future this correlation will paint. Individuals are welcome to interpret the AI installation based on their own experiences. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive AI Installations:** The use of AI and facial recognition technology in installations can create interactive and unique experiences for audiences. - **Reflective AI Technology:** The trend of using reflective surfaces to connect AI technology with human interaction has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with AI. - **Exploring Human-technology Relationship:** AI installations that examine the relationship between humans and technology can lead to thought-provoking experiences that engage audiences in new ways. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Entertainment:** AI installations like this could revolutionize the way we experience art and entertainment by creating unique and interactive experiences. - **Retail:** Retail stores could use AI installations to create engaging and interactive experiences for customers, driving foot traffic and sales. - **Advertising:** AI installations that utilize facial recognition technology could be used in advertising campaigns to create personalized and targeted messaging for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mirrored Hall Visual Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/internamente.md) - [Thought-Provoking Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibodies-installation.md) - [AI Reflection Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cognitive-bloom.md) - [Dynamic Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-displays.md) - [Reflective Material Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue.md) - [Voice-Activated Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraimic.md) - [Colossal AI Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-artwork.md) - [AI Sound Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-sound-piece.md) - [Robotic Digital Surveillance Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accept-all.md)
