"Afterimage" is an interactive digital archive that explores the concept of things that refuse to disappear. Inspired by abandoned computer systems, analog horror, forgotten memories, and the Day of the Dead tradition, this project aims to create a space where users can explore memories, generate mysterious stories, and preserve personal tributes.
The main features include Ghost Terminal, Memory Vault, Digital Ofrenda, and Lost Frequencies. Each feature offers a unique way to engage with the archive and experience the feeling of something remaining even after seeming to vanish. The project was built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and open-source AI running directly in the browser.
The Ghost Terminal utilizes DistilGPT-2 and Transformers.js to generate eerie story continuations based on user prompts. Users can save, view, delete, and export memories in the Memory Vault, while the Digital Ofrenda allows for the preservation of names, memories, and messages inspired by Day of the Dead traditions. The Lost Frequencies feature adds a mysterious radio transmission element to the archive.
The open-source nature of this project allows developers to inspect, modify, and extend its functionality, while also providing a personal and nostalgic experience for users.
