SUMMARY:The Theater Machine: An Interactive Generative-AI-Based Installati
 on for Participatory Cultural Mediation
DESCRIPTION:Nils Gallist, Jolanda Abasolo, and Celine Pham (University of 
 Applied Sciences Upper Austria) and Juergen Hagler (University of Applied 
 Sciences Upper Austria, Ars Electronica Australia)\n\nThe Theater Machine 
 is an interactive AI-based installation designed for theater foyers to mak
 e performing arts more accessible through participatory engagement. Using 
 camera and touchscreen interaction, visitors are integrated in real time i
 nto dynamically generated theatrical scenes. The system operates on a high
 -performance workstation powered by a generative model trained via Adversa
 rial Diffusion Distillation within a high-throughput StreamDiffusion pipel
 ine. By merging live user input with AI-driven scene creation, the project
  explores new modes of audience involvement and creative expression. This 
 paper presents the conceptual framework, system architecture, interaction 
 design, and sustainability strategy underlying The Theater Machine.\n\nReg
