This project harnesses the power of artificial intelligence and StyleGAN, trained on a curated dataset of over 10,000 images. These images were sourced from diverse mediums, including video footage, photographs, and online image scraping, to construct a rich visual database. The result is a machine-driven reimagining—hallucinations of a latent Al Fujairah—blurring the boundaries between the real and the possible.

The project offers an immersive walk through AI-generated interpolations of Al Fujairah’s frames, presenting a window into what could be. These interpolations reveal a continuous transition between the existing and the speculative, allowing viewers to experience the Emirate as a mosaic of unperceived transformations, guided by the latent spaces of machine creativity.
