1) Title
Imagining the Past from the Future: Exploring alternative realities using GenAI and speculative design.

2) Abstract
Our own constructions of reality are not really realities. They are embedded in our own biases and desires for wanting to see things in particular ways, and they reflect an attempt to fill in gaps of knowledge, often with no evidence and little knowledge. I will show works that explore the way we imagine these realities using Generative AI (GenAI) as an agent for prototyping our alternative futures and realities. I will show work exhibited in Shanghai, Goethe Institute Hong Kong, and National Asian Cultural Center Gwangju, supplemented by published work in CHI and CSCW demonstrating the way that GenAI can enable us to verbally and visually describe imagined worlds. I will also describe the limitations of GenAI, and what strategies we take to overcome their biases and constraints, showing how these insights can be exhibited in technology-mediated contexts to reveal to visitors the process and role of research-centered speculative storytelling.
