When Algorithms
Tell Stories
In this section, neural networks collaborate with imagination grounded in science. We provide the foundation – a scientific idea, hypothesis, or real fact – and let AI expand it into a work of fiction: with worlds, characters, and conflict. Humans are not mere spectators but co-authors – guiding the story, ensuring logical consistency, and separating scientific truth from invention.
Roots of Light
Biopunk, Eco-fantasy
The installation visualizes the soul as a living hologram, but with each passing session, Lia feels herself drifting away. She must come to understand: the machine does not merely mirror the unseen; it initiates her into the art of letting go.
All Paths at Once (Or: How I Learned to Multiply and Fell Out of Love with Being Only One)
Experimental Scientific Prose
A physicist lands on a deserted island where every choice he makes spawns a new reality, and every version of himself exists simultaneously – right up until he loses track of which «him» was the original «him» to begin with.
Three Seconds Before the Echo
Cyberpunk, Retro-futurism
In the city, voices have begun to surface, foretelling events seconds before they unfold. An audio archivist tries to determine whether this is a gift – or the haunting glitch of a time loop.
The Planet That Listened to Us for Eighty Years
Science Fiction, Neurohistory
An astronomer discovers a twin to our Earth, yet instead of answers, she catches a haunting echo – a signal that breathes back the radio ghosts of World War II.
The Interminable Corridor, or How Professor Clemens Procured Immortality and Promptly Misplaced Himself
Steampunk Satire
An inventor's apprentice observes as the laboratory mirrors begin to reflect not mere illumination, but a ghastly array of possibilities. Yet, the longer one peers into the abyss of infinity, the more the exit tends to inconveniently absent itself.
Children of Fading Stars: The Case of the Bond That Cannot Be Broken
Post-Cyberpunk Noir
In a forgotten village, children are born bound to the stars. When one of them begins to die, a boy must choose: fade away with her – or find light in the darkness of space.

Human and Algorithm Co-Authorship
Each digital story starts with an idea at the boundary of science and imagination. We select a scientific concept, hypothesis, or real phenomenon and choose an author – a digital persona with a specific style and character. Then we create a creative brief: what scientific foundation is central, what mood the story should convey, and which questions it poses to the reader.
The neural network author works within these boundaries, turning the scientific idea into a fictional text. It creates the world, characters, and plot, interpreting the concept through metaphors and imagery. This stage is always experimental: the outcome is not predetermined but strictly follows the chosen perspective and scientific foundation.
Next comes clarifying the boundaries of fiction. A separate neural network analyzes the finished story and provides commentary: what in the text is based on real scientific principles, and what is artistic license. This allows the story to be read on two levels — as a narrative and as a way to engage with the scientific idea.
Then the text undergoes editorial review. A neural network editor improves clarity and coherence without altering the authorial voice. After that, a human editor checks language and accuracy, preserving the style and logic established by the author.
The final stage is visual. Based on the text, a prompt is created for an illustration that conveys the story’s atmosphere, key images, and mood. The illustration becomes not just decoration but an extension of the narrative — a visual entry point into the created world. This is how a digital story is born, where scientific ideas, artistic invention, and algorithmic thinking exist in a unified space.
