[Artificial intelligence] is taking over, and we\u2019re sure you have lots of questions because so do we, but Miami\u2019s Filmgate Interactive Festival is going down this week, and it has all the answers. Deco\u2019s artificial and intelligent reporter, Alex Miranda, has more.<\/p>\n
Film Gate is a cutting-edge event that brings the tech-savvy and the curious to explore the best in interactive storytelling.<\/p>\n
Lights, cameras, imagination!<\/p>\n
Chloe Fang: \u201cThis is a new era where everybody can have the tool to create, and the only limitation is your imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wednesday through Sunday, the 12th annual Filmgate Interactive Festival is turning the 305 into a playground for filmmakers, artists, and tech innovators.<\/p>\n
Diliana Alexander: \u201cYou can experience some of the most innovative projects from around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all to show how technology is reshaping the way stories are told.<\/p>\n
Opening night kicks off at the Frost Science Planetarium in downtown Miami.<\/p>\n
Diliana Alexander: \u201cWe have two original projects that we\u2019ve co-created with Taiwan and a local project in this amazing space with 230 people experiencing it together. And there\u2019s no feeling like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.<\/p>\n
Diliana Alexander: \u201cWe are going to be on Lincoln Road at 420 Lincoln. We call it the interactive tech playground because you get to play with technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex Miranda: \u201cWhat is this, a VR headset?\u201d<\/p>\n
Segundo Correas: \u201cIt\u2019s a VR headset. It\u2019s a meta quest. 3.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex Miranda: \u201cOh, wow. So it basically looks like I\u2019m in the sphere in Las Vegas.\u201d<\/p>\n
Segundo correas: \u201cYou\u2019re gonna be dancing with a character in the game.<\/p>\n
Alex Miranda: \u201cOh, okay. But then, when you look at me. Oh, you\u2019re gonna be dancing like a fool.\u201d<\/p>\n
[Alex tries on the glasses]<\/p>\n
Alex Miranda: \u201cYou completely forget about the real world when you\u2019re in here. Because I was so immersed in this universe that exists only in this headset.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also on Friday from 8 to 10 p.m., right outside the New World Center\u2026<\/p>\n
Diliana Alexander: \u201cWe will present projects on the hundred-foot wall, where everything is augmented. So we\u2019ll start with a curated experience by escape ai, which is kind of like the Netflix of AI films. And then we will have a video by OpenArt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe Fang: \u201cOpenAI is one of the largest AI video generation platforms. We have around 9 million monthly active users. We want to democratize creativity. You can create your own AI influencer and AI avatar, your own AI image, video stories, worlds, and even advertisements.\u201d<\/p>\n
Diliana Alexander: \u201cAnd then we\u2019re going to finish with DJ Death Pixie.\u201d<\/p>\n
David Beiner: \u201cSo the way we describe Death Pixie is she\u2019s an anime DJ.\u201d<\/p>\n
Diliana Alexander: \u201can AI DJ influencer, the first one to ever be signed to our record label. She opened for deadmau5 at Red Rocks in October.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex Miranda: \u201cHow do you think Miami\u2019s gonna react to Death Pixie?\u201d<\/p>\n
David Beiner: \u201cI think Miami is the dance capital of the world. You\u2019re gonna love Death Pixie. The music\u2019s great, the art is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Diliana Alexander: \u201cSo that\u2019s super exciting to see her on a hundred-foot wall.\u201d<\/p>\n
David Beiner: \u201cThis is a new type of art form in many ways. It\u2019s not a typical DJ set, it\u2019s not a movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
And there is so much more!<\/p>\n
