Network of Imaginary Places - Technical article explaining how I built a database of fictional places using LLMs.
I am an architect and digital artist who do a wide range of freelance work. I am currently renovating a group of houses in Tjøme, Norway as well as running a Youtube-channel where I speculate on what the architecture of Middle Earth will look like after the War of the Ring.
Zooming out, my work sits at the intersection between cutting edge technology, with a particular focus on AI, and traditional aesthetics and mythology. This is best exemplified by my project Network of Imaginary Places, where I have used LLMs to construct a giant dataset of thousands of imagined cities from mythology and modern fantasy.
