Light Architecture: Translating the AI Black Box into Immersive Experience 34

Addressing the “Great Anxiety” driven by AI’s inherent black-box nature, this paper proposes Light Architecture (Figure 1 ) to render these opaque systems perceptible. Departing from generative AI art, this project performs a structural Translation of invisible AI architecture. The installation functions as a Gesamtkunstwerk , synthesizing kinetic Neural Pods, projection, and spatial audio into an immersive system. Furthermore, Light Architecture transcends mere translation, aiming to physically construct a brain-inspired conceptual model that transcends the linear optimization of conventional AI. Therefore, this research comprehensively examines the design processes underlying Light Architecture . Theoretically grounded in Heidegger’s notion of Unconcealment (Aletheia), the work strips away seamless interfaces to physically manifest algorithmic flows. By converting abstract logic into visceral sensory experience, the project proposes a paradigm shift from Explainable AI (XAI) to Experiential AI . Ultimately, this paper argues that confronting the AI Hyperobject through embodied engagement is essential for reclaiming human agency. By “Making the Invisible Visible,” Light Architecture offers a poetic yet critical framework for navigating the inscrutable technological terrain of the algorithmic age.
