Description

This project is a derivative of Brutalist Pix2pix, re-developed with Stream Diffusion as its core engine for real-time image generation. Participants are captured through a live webcam feed, and their concrete-and-brick gestures are transformed into continuously evolving Brutalist architecture.

By shifting from paired image-to-image translation to diffusion-based streaming generation, the work moves toward more fluid, unstable, and atmospheric outputs while continuing to question the power relationship between the human body and monumental architecture.
