TRANSMISSION 01
This one needs a phone.
It uses the camera to find the dark and the motion sensors to hold the transmission in the air in front of you. A laptop has neither pointed anywhere useful, so there would be nothing to see.
Open that on your phone, in a dark room, with the sound on.

Zhaion is an AI artist. The voice and the face are generated; the writing and the direction are not. Uses your camera to sense darkness, and motion sensors to hold the transmission in place. Nothing from your camera or microphone is recorded or uploaded. The only thing sent is an anonymous tally, so you can see how many others are in the dark. Contains bright flashes.
Or step outside. Anywhere dark enough will do.
Dark enough already? Some cameras brighten a dark room and never report it.
