Their own photographs became an imaginary sculpture exhibition, live online
A live website for an imaginary art exhibition: four mirror-surfaced sculptures grown from their own photography with AI.
This student took their own photographs and turned them into an exhibition that exists nowhere but online, with mirror-like sculptures, quiet gallery rooms and museum-style writing. They built it with Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub and Vercel, using techniques straight from class. It is a lovely example of what patient review and practice can make.
Before
They had sat through the live classes, but much of the detail went past them at the time. They had their own photography and an idea for an exhibition that did not exist. Knowing how to prompt well, when to build Claude Skills and when to switch between chat, CoWork and Code still felt uncertain.
“The details I was not able to consume at the time of the live-classes, I now have greater understanding - and also the confidence on how to prompt, when to use and create Claude Skills, when to switch chat/cowork/code.”
In their own words
The turning point
Before touching any artwork, they went back and reviewed every lesson. Dominic's class gave them JSON prompting and other techniques to fine-tune image details. Vyk's 'Project Builder' Project and tips on creating Skills showed them how to support a larger build.
“Vyk's 'Project Builder' Project and Skills creating tips and techniques was very effective!”
In their own words
After
They created four imaginary sculptures in ChatGPT, starting from their own photos, transforming the surroundings and giving the objects a mirror-like surface. Claude Code carried the website from wireframe to visual style and modern art museum-like copy. The result is a live exhibition site, backed by several Skills they built along the way.
What it lets people do
Visitors can walk through an exhibition that was never physically installed, room by room, with sculptures set in calm, sunlit galleries. It shows how a personal photo can become the seed of a whole curated art experience.
What they learned
Going back over lessons turned half-understood ideas into real confidence. They also found that each step forward reveals what they are not yet fluent in, and that this makes them want to keep learning.
“But, the more I learn the more I notice the areas I am not yet fluent in”
