As seen in stories like Snow White and Adam and Eve, it expands into diverse symbolic narratives. This project visualizes these layered meanings and perspectives with a tone that is both subtly dangerous and alluring.

ShaderGPT
ShaderGPT is an experimental tool created by the Scandinavian design and technology agency 14islands that explores how artificial intelligence can assist in building generative visual systems through natural language. The project investigates whether large language models can translate simple text prompts into working GLSL shader code used for real-time graphics.
Shaders are a powerful technique for producing dynamic visuals in WebGL, but writing the required code often requires specialized technical knowledge. With ShaderGPT, users can describe a visual idea such as abstract landscapes, fluid gradients, or animated patterns and the system generates a fragment shader that is immediately rendered in the browser. This creates an interactive loop where prompts, code, and visuals evolve together.
The prototype was built using the Vercel AI SDK together with several large language models, including Claude, Mistral, and Deepseek, allowing the team to explore how different models interpret creative prompts and translate them into shader logic.
While the experiment revealed limitations such as syntax errors, performance constraints, and the models’ inability to evaluate aesthetic outcomes, it also highlights the potential of AI as a creative collaborator. For 14islands, experiments like ShaderGPT are part of a broader exploration into how emerging AI technologies can be shaped into intuitive tools and human-centered digital experiences.
You can try out ShaderGPT here.
