Interactive Systems real-time Digital Artwork

Cardo Brussels

We designed and commissioned an interactive lobby videowall for Cardo Brussels in Brussels, Belgium. Real-time generative visuals respond to live weather data and transform visitors into stylised avatars in the hotel lobby.

Project Details

  • Year:Not listed

  • End Client:Cardo Brussels

  • Location:Place Rogier, Brussels

Overview

A lobby videowall that behaves like a living canvas. In idle mode, the screen generates surreal landscapes with Stable Diffusion, shaped by real-time weather data. Season, time of day, wind speed, and atmospheric conditions continuously steer the mood and composition.

Interactive Systems

Visitors become part of the artwork. As guests step into the interaction zone, the system captures their portrait and transforms it into a personalised avatar. The output appears as a cartoonized or Magritte inspired version of the visitor, integrating local cultural references into a playful, immediate interaction.

Real time AI inside a stable show pipeline. The system runs Interactive Stable Diffusion inside TouchDesigner, combining camera input, prompt control, and live data feeds into an ever-changing artwork
