Mirror of Erised (Coming Burning Man 2025)
This mirror brings the magic of the Mirror of Erised to life. Using advanced technology, it identifies users and reflects their deepest, most desperate desires through personalized visuals.
How It Works:
User Identification: A hidden camera uses PimEyes facial recognition to identify the user.
Data Insights: Open-source LLMs extract meaningful insights about the user to simulate the mirror’s intuitive understanding of their desires.
Visual Generation: The mirror employs the Replicate API with Stable Diffusion to create dreamlike visuals around the user.
Experience:
When users gaze into the mirror, it conjures AI-generated imagery that surrounds their reflection, embodying their deepest desires. This immersive experience combines technology and storytelling to turn an ordinary mirror into a portal to the soul.
