Wander [001] is an AI-based multi-media public art project that includes the interactive AI chatbot, CG and an online map.

On Discord or WeChat, participants can send a message to Wander of any real-world locations, and Wander would return sci-fi travel notes and street scenes from a random future time. All contents are generated through AI based on real-world location information.

Through public participation, the result of the journey would keep updating the future map. The map would become a record of a collaborative Sci-fi fiction collection between humans and AI.

Based on the travel notes that Wander wrote, I create series of concept art.
