StoryScroll: Share your Life Story with AI Tools
Sharing personal stories is a powerful way to express your perspective, celebrate differences, and uncover shared values. Across cultures, gathering around a table for a meal often creates a warm, trusting environment for storytelling. Inspired by the many dinners shared in lead artist Cheng Xu’s kitchen, we’ve developed a virtual dinner host designed to encourage the exchange of life stories.
In this workshop, you’ll be guided by StoryScroll (formerly Dragon Delusion), a custom AI tool that helps you visually tell your story. Acting as a virtual dinner host, StoryScroll will guide you step by step to discover your story, add details, and bring it to life through visuals. We will also take a behind-the-scenes look at the popular AI tools that contributed to StoryScroll‘s creation.
Whether you’re seeking self-discovery, healing, or simply a meaningful exchange, this introspective journey offers something for everyone.
This workshop is offered through the BAVC Media VERSED program. VERSED is a series of hybrid workshops, hands-on labs, virtual and in-person trainings for media makers to skill up, spark and sustain careers in the media arts on a free or below-market basis. This program is made possible by a generous donation from the National Endowment for the Arts.
