Still Garden

Still Garden continues Liu Jiayu’s exploration with her custom AI tool "Jiayu*," drawing inspiration from Li Ruzhen’s classic fictional novel Jing Hua Yuan (Flowers in the Mirror). Known for its rich imagination and fantastical fictional worlds, this piece merges AI technology with literary creation, exploring new possibilities for digital storytelling. In this process, the artist reconstructs a fantasy-rich digital environment that breaks the constraints of traditional narrative, forming a unique non-textual novel.


In this work, the fictional scenes from the novel are replaced by AI-generated three-dimensional environments, illustrating the intersection of virtual worlds and literary narratives. The artist deeply trained "Jiayu*" with Transformer models to generate entirely new virtual worlds. These worlds remain faithful to the novel’s fantastical imagery while expanding their visual representation through digital tools. The artist then used complex algorithms and Houdini to transform the generated 3D scenes into visual images of point cloud particles and motion paths, creating a multidimensional spatial experience.
