An AI/AR Experience Launching Soon

Stories from the Creek is a site specific exploratory AI/AR art installation created for the REALIITY HOUSE “Al Shindagha with AI” project. Hold up your iPhone and you will see lifelike AI-generated portraits—divers, traders, boatbuilders materialise where they once stood. Tap any figure and an AI-synthesised voice speaks in the first person, pulling you into a moment when natural pearls bankrolled Dubai and fishing nets fed the shore.

Each image and voice is produced with generative models trained on archival photos, oral histories and field recordings, so the past is not merely reconstructed but re-imagined with the texture of lived memory. The result is an immersive space that sits halfway between museum tour and time travel, proving that artificial intelligence can do more than forecast the future, it can resurrect the human heartbeat of history and let us carry it in the palm of our hand.

Exhibition Opening June 14, 2025 at REALIITY HOUSE in Al Shindagha
