Reality Crafting Machine

A kaleidoscopic story engine where your choices and an algorithm co-author PG-rated alternate histories and literary remixes, complete with art and a take-home PDF.

Reality Crafting Machine is a browser-based interactive digital narrative. It works like a kaleidoscopic engine that co-authors alternative histories and literary remixes with exhibition visitors through a playful interface inspired by improv theatre.


Participants first choose a mode: Rewrite History or Remix Literature. They then set simple parameters: era, location, genre, prop, and a narrative twist. The system refracts these inputs into a unique, PG-rated story, paired with a generated illustration and a downloadable PDF artifact.


The work highlights sympoietic collaboration between human imagination and generative algorithms. Authorship and agency are shared, and every session produces a distinct outcome shaped by audience choices and machinic patterning.


In the spirit of Kaleidoscopic Machines in an Era of Accelerated Entanglements, the piece treats narrative as refractive rather than fixed and celebrates mediation and entanglement.


When visitors press Submit, the text and image are archived without personal data. After the conference, selected snippets will be published as a reflective piece.
