Title: First Memory
What would your first memory feel like if you had just been created?
First Memory is a short cinematic film clip about an AI-generated character experiencing her very first memory and slowly realizing that her world is being generated in real time.
What begins as a bright, dreamlike lifestyle film gradually transforms into a story about identity, memory, and existence. As subtle visual glitches emerge, the character's perfect memories begin to unravel, leading her toward an unsettling self-awareness.
I started with one of my previously created AI character images and imported it into Renoise Canvas, where I built the film scene by scene. Using Renoise's video generation tools and FaceLock for character consistency, I was able to maintain her identity while intentionally evolving her environment and emotional journey.
My goal was to explore a simple but compelling question:
If an AI could remember the moment it first existed, what kind of story would it tell?

We're emotional beings. Our tools rarely are.
Emotions can't really be taught. They arrive through lived experience, already packaged with a thousand tiny feelings and nuances we carry without thinking. So what if an interface tapped into that?
Meet Clothesline 🧺, a to-do list with feelings.
Instead of "an urgent, high-priority, do-or-die task," you simply have a bedsheet-sized goal for the year and a sock-sized one for today. One glance and you know exactly how much you're holding.
Create, save, and track your goals right in your browser, the same way you'd hang, dry, and fold your laundry. Close the tab or restart your browser and your line stays exactly how you left it, so nothing ever slips away.
The rope sags under the weight you carry, a little bird drops by with daily inspiration, and finished goals get folded away. It even makes a lovely little second-monitor companion to glance at while you sip your coffee and work.
Built end to end in Figma: Design, Weave, MCP, Make, Sites, and Slides.
🧑🏼🎨 A small experiment in emotional interface design, software that doesn't just track your goals but feels alive alongside them.
It still amazes me how fast an idea can travel from your head to something real, alive, and in your browser.
Notes for reviewers: the overdue state (storm and rain) normally triggers when a goal passes its due date. To preview it without waiting for real time to pass, add a goal and press 'n' for +1 day, 'm' for +1 month, or 'r' to reset. You'll see the sky turn and the line react, so you can fold fast or change the due date.
