AI Art Pioneer Spencer Sterling (cerspense) Addresses NYC AI Arts & Tech Meetup

In an engaging presentation at the NYC AI Arts & Tech Meetup, Spencer Sterling (cerspense) shared his groundbreaking work combining AI-generated visuals, laser shows, and real-time performance systems. His innovative approach merges technologies like Stable Diffusion, AnimateDiff, and Comfy UI with traditional visual tools like TouchDesigner and Notch to create immersive audiovisual experiences.

A highlight of Sterling's work is his development of advanced depth mapping techniques that enable AI-generated content to interact with physical spaces in real-time. His system can project AI-generated imagery onto surfaces while synchronizing laser effects that respond to music, creating a seamless blend of digital and physical elements.

Sterling also demonstrated his latest experiments with Hunyuan 3D, which allows him to generate 3D models from AI-created images, further expanding the possibilities for live visual performances.

The presentation sparked engaging discussions about the future of real-time AI generation, hardware requirements for live performances, and the potential for fully immersive digital experiences.
