arxiv.orgpaperDiffusion TV: Experiencing Diffusion Models through Tangible, Embodied Interaction
Diffusion TV is an interactive AI art installation built from a modified CRT TV that lets audiences control the clarity of AI-generated images and sounds by physically manipulating the antenna, metaphorically enacting the denoising process of diffusion models. A tuning knob switches between three channels of AI-generated animals (extinct, endangered, speculative), embedding the interaction in a temporal and ecological narrative. The work argues for embodied, tangible interaction as an alternative mode of explainable AI that foregrounds the generative process itself rather than final outputs.
TL;DR A CRT-TV art installation lets people "tune" diffusion-model denoising by hand, offering an embodied take on explainable AI.
