Abstract

We conceived the Ada: Intelligent Space exhibit as an artificial organism, integrating a large number of sensory modalities and having it interact with visitors using a multitude of effector systems. Ada used a language of sound and light to communicate its moods, emotions, and behaviors. Here we describe the mechanisms behind Ada's sound communication, its real-time performance, and its interpretation by human subjects.
