Me and my digital twin.

For nearly a decade, I’ve been exploring tools that allow me to create a digital twin of myself using AI, avatar generation, and

My interest in creating a digital twin is born out two philosophical inquiries.

What would it be like to occupy another point of view and, as such, to be liberated from our subjective viewpoint and know what is like to have lived another live?

What about my current construction could be fabricated and, potentially, mirrored from my existing condition?

Here is the diary of these creations

I asked myself a question. Here’s what I thought.

The difficulty is matching energy

This is HeyGen’s Avatar V, which was released recently. I ran it through CapCut and added a few other AI effects to see what it could do. It’s getting closer but it’s still far from me.

Designing my home world

The idea of a digital twin doesn’t really make sense independent of a twin world, so designing a space in which my digital twin is embedded is a crucial construction when thinking through what it is to be a twin. After all, identities don’t operate in isolation of a context, we are not just floating brains. This prototype in Spatial takes me on that journey.

Making me move

This is also HeyGen and I wanted to see how far it could go in capturing gestures. They want you to be more static really when recording your reference video and this shows why. It’s hard to match my gestures with the script and it doesn’t quite get it right, but it’s pretty good..
