The Golden Key

What power do myths have? How do the myths of the future get shaped? “The Golden Key” brings audiences into contact with the mythological dreams of an AI as it writes and visualizes a never-ending story. The AI has been trained on tens of thousands of folk tales from around the world, a dataset of narrative fragments that echo our most basic stories and concerns. As the installation proceeds, an infinite progression of narrative, sight and sound unfolds as audience members are invited to take on the role of the “trickster” to actively shape the narrative of this generated story and explore the concealed structures that sit behind AI’s purported magic.
