".....The game involved multiple players at individual screens, taking turns to contribute to the narrative in response to AI prompts. The AI system also contributed with storylines, creating a hybrid human-AI storytelling experience. Sessions concluded either when time expired or when participants felt their narrative was complete.  The AI engine was crafted with imputs from the research group consisting of 4 different scenarions and descriptions of the characters the stories could evolve from.

The project examined participant interactions with AI-based storytelling, analyzed the types of narratives created, and studied perceptions of Trondheim's future within the context of energy transition dynamics. As a work-in-progress research project, both technically and in terms of format and criticality, participant feedback was collected to aid in the installation's development and improvement.

Through collective imagination of various scenarios, participants contributed to envisioning potential future worlds.

The installation was created by Futuring Together, a group of PhD candidates at NTNU including Ayodele Arigbabu, Kristian Byskov, Ysabel Muñoz and Margarita Torrijos, whose work focuses on futuring and narratives across various dimensions.

The installation was supported with funding from the NTNU Artistic Research Week and was also funded as a PHKUNST Community initiative 2024."
