Cocktail Responsive Interactive Avatar, CRIA: An Interactive Art Installation of Digital Human in Moody Scenario
SessionSubversive Agencies
DescriptionCRIA (Cocktail Responsive Interactive Avatar) is an interactive digital human designed to simulate emotional instability in AI. By combining mood-driven language generation, expressive speech synthesis, and digital human, the system embodies states such as intoxication, anger, and confusion. Exhibited in public settings, CRIA received strong audience engagement; participants described it as easy to interact with and emotionally expressive, indicating the effectiveness of its interaction design and emotion engine. Rather than portraying AI as coherent or helpful, CRIA embraces affective breakdown as a means of critical reflection. The project challenges normative expectations of emotional AI and provokes new questions about machine subjectivity, ethical design, and the aesthetics of failure.
