Prompt:
“Time is out of order.” Design a small interaction, system, or visualization where time isn’t linear. What does that mean for input, output, or user navigation? Explore how GenAI could represent or reshape that logic.
System
The prototype runs locally (ideal for public installations).
A person pastes a Spotify song link and/or narrative.
The backend extracts metadata (title, artist, year) and merges it with the user's text into a weighted prompt.
The frontend (built in Unity) receives the generated image, displays it at center scale, and shrinks + drifts earlier memories outward, forming a constellation of images that resemble emotional fragments rather than a sequence.
