We spend our lives looking at screens, but rarely looking through them. An invitation to stand at the edge of the known world, wipe the dust off the glass, and peer inside.
As we step into 2026, I am finally launching a personal experiment that has haunted me for some time: One Hundred Windows.
How did this idea come to me in the first place?
The emerging technologies of generative AI empower me to create content like never before. This shift forces us to ask: in an age of artificial intelligence, what remains uniquely human? I believe the answer lies in our memories, our unpredictable emotions, and the specific texture of our grief and wonder. Our taste and intuition are the most precious things. AI provides the frame, but we must provide the view.
This project also serves as my own quest to better mastery of AI-powered content creation. It’s such an ideal opportunity for me to experiment with a variety of AIGC techniques. I am approaching this not as a master, but as a student. I expect to stumble. But there is value in the fumble, because the learning and exploration itself is an end I pursue.
One hundred windows, 100 forgotten stories, all to be fulfilled in the next 100 days. As someone with a full-time job, I find this undertaking daunting; sustaining it will require true persistence. At the same time, I’m thrilled with eagerness to feel and live out this meaningful project. It’s like the joy of putting together a personal collection, one item at a time. It’s also like solving a mysterious jigsaw puzzle. With every other piece snapping into place, I feel the promise of getting one step closer to uncovering the story. It’s also like ticking off items on the calendar, a lot to anticipate.
The window is opening. Please do check out these stories as they come out. If you get inspired in any way, want to contribute your own stories, or propose any improvements, please feel free to reach out and tell me what you feel.
