A little factory for your imagination
Wu Zifei
A Playful Factory for
Generative Collages
Your gestures. Your feelings.
Your memories. Your creation.
made withConcept illustration · planned creative experience
An interactive creative-coding website where users explore a playful virtual factory and create personalized digital collages through hand gestures, emotional inputs, and personal photographs.
Physical scrapbook aesthetics.
Subtle digital animations.
Personal creative decisions.
THE REASON TO MAKE
What if the materials
came from you?
Tools such as Canva and Photoshop let us arrange images, text, and decorations. I want to explore how bodies, emotions, and personal experiences can generate the materials themselves.
The process of making a collage becomes an interactive experience.
How can personal gestures, emotions, and images shape unique generative collages?

A WALK THROUGH THE FACTORY
SELECTED PATHWAY
Three machines. Three kinds of personal expression.
Activate a webcam and move your hands to create stickers. Hand positions, movement speed, and finger trajectories influence the shapes.
Planned feature · concept illustration
Select emotions and adjust energy, softness, and chaos. Generate animated lines, particles, and abstract patterns.
Planned feature · concept illustration
Upload personal photographs and transform them into Polaroids, film frames, and paper cutouts.
Planned feature · concept illustrationEvery collage will reflect a different combination of inputs, movement patterns, and creative decisions.
HOW THE IDEA TAKES SHAPE
01 — MY MAIN TOOLS
Website development, implementation, debugging, and iteration.
Visual assets based on my references and creative direction.
Personalized stickers, animated graphics, and unique collage compositions.
02 — MY ROLE
I define the concept, interactions, and generative rules, then evaluate and refine the results.
03 — AI’S ROLE IN THE EXPERIENCE
AI supports production, while my design decisions and the users’ inputs shape the experience.
AI assists with visual assets, implementation, and debugging. The final collages will be created through user inputs and rule-based generative processes.
WHAT I HOPE TO CREATE
QUESTIONS ON WHICH I NEED HELP
Personal expression,
generative possibilities.
