What inspired you to do this?
The project was created for an international tech art collaborative program with the mission to communicate about climate change.
How long did it take to make it?
Once the project had been proposed and accepted, it took about a month and a half to complete.
How long have you been doing things like this?
Some members were new to the tech art scene, one was a season coder, one an established choreographer, one a writer, and one a creative designer.
How much did this cost to do?
Other than time, not much. We used our existing hardware and our existing or free software.
Have you done other things like this?
Using machine learning and pose detection and classification was new to everyone, as was combining dance, written poetry, and creative coding.
What did you wish you knew before you started this?
How hard pose classification was going to be.
Are there plans available to make this? Do you sell this?
It would be wonderful to create a live installation with a magic mirror video wall for real time interaction.

What’s next?
There is lot that can be improved, from the interactive realtime graphics to fixing pose classification allow a further degree of interactivity.
