'Garden of Forks' is an interactive installation that takes the unlimited possibilities of physical interactions in three-dimensional space as input and uses AI to respond and generate a limitless variety of fictional narratives.

An empty room contains four objects lying on the ground: a straight glass, a wine glass, a green mat, and a broom. Participants enter the room and are encouraged to interact with the objects. Each movement with the objects prompts the AI to generate and develop a piece of fictional narrative, displayed on the monitor in front. Every object are connected to the narrative with pre-determined rules as symbolism narrative devices. Each action with the object contributes to the progression of narrative with coherent sequence. For example, the “broom” represents changes and transformation within the narrative, so an interaction with the broom would cause dramatic change or turn of events.
