The paper explores the intersection between generative artificial intelligence, virtual reality, performance art, and architectural experimentation through the practice-based installation Floating Acrobats. The research investigates the concept of exaptation as a design strategy, examining how AI-generated imagery, VR environments, sculptural design, and performative spatial experiences can be repurposed into new artistic and architectural functions. The methodology combines hand sketches, 3D modeling, AI-generated visual simulations, immersive VR environments, and interactive exhibition design to create a multisensory installation centered on resilience, adaptability, and collective creativity. The study reflects on the transformative role of generative AI in artistic production, virtual exhibition spaces, authorship, and morphospatial experimentation, proposing AI as a catalyst for new forms of architectural imagination and performative interaction.
