“Oh” is a computationally mediated artist’s book that explores the psychological effects of integrating AI into creative writing. It presents this psychological dance through a dialogue between a human writer and an AI voice, enacted via interactive physical components: an LCD screen represents the AI, while a thermal printer embodies the human writer’s voice. The narrative is enclosed within a 3D-printed computer-book form, reinforcing the thematic tension between digital and physical authorship.

To engage with the work, a reader must open the “book” and press a button, triggering an unfolding conversation between human and machine. The AI’s text appears on the LCD screen in a fleeting, digital format, while the human’s responses are printed physically onto paper—grounding them in permanence and tangibility. This juxtaposition highlights the tension between ephemeral, machine-generated responses and the enduring nature of human creativity.

This interactive experience invites audiences into a layered narrative of reassurance, frustration, and identity, questioning what it means to “return” to human creativity when AI becomes a collaborator. By requiring active participation—pressing a button to progress the dialogue—the piece encourages reflection on authorship, collaboration, and the evolving role of human agency in an AI-driven world.
