Being Water: Collaborating with an LLM in an Interactive Digital Narrative (IDN) as Speculative Aesthetics
摘要
Being Water is an IDN experience that speculates about the ways of being of water in the world. It combines 360 \(^\circ \) video, artifact-beings, voice-over and atmospheric sound. In a first iteration, users navigate through the environment to listen to authorial text. This paper’s focus is on second iteration in which we experiment with integrating generative AI (genAI) to various degrees (e.g., augmenting interaction, making it replayable, sustaining a narrative) by using authorial text and scene context. We discuss preliminary findings in using LLMs as a collaborator to make meaningful additions to digital artworks.
