Storied Blue House poster

Storied Blue House transports visitors into the living memories of Hong Kong’s iconic Blue House heritage site. This immersive installation merges panoramic photography with generative AI to visualize not only the personal narratives of longtime residents, but also new interpretations offered by today’s visitors. Developed through collaborative storytelling workshops, the exhibition surfaces stories of vibrant street life, neighborhood rituals, and local figures like kung fu masters to a legendary street cat. Visitors don’t just observe; they actively participate by contributing prompts and reflections that generate real-time visual interpretations within the 360° environment.

Created by Dr. Marty Miller (City University of Hong Kong) with direction from Professors Jeffrey Shaw and Richard William Allen, the project explores how intangible cultural heritage can be visualized, reimagined, and re-shared across generations. It asks a crucial question for the AI era: How can we remember what was never photographed?

故事藍屋》帶領觀眾走入香港標誌性文化遺產地點——藍屋的鮮活記憶之中。這個沉浸式裝置結合全景攝影與生成式人工智能(GenAI),不僅重現舊街坊的個人故事,也邀請當下的參觀者即時創造全新詮釋。展覽源自一系列協作式故事工作坊,呈現出街坊生活、社區儀式與本地人物的鮮活記憶——從功夫師傅到街頭傳說中的貓。觀眾不僅是旁觀者,更是參與者;他們透過輸入提示與敘述,在360°的環境中即時生成全新視覺內容,親身參與這段記憶的再創造。

本項目由Marty Miller博士(香港城市大學)策劃,並由邵志飛教授與Richard William Allen教授指導,探討非物質文化遺產如何被視覺化、再想像,並跨代相傳。旨在人工智慧時代提出一個關鍵問題:
我們如何記住那些從未被拍下的記憶?
