Special Exhibitions

As an art project bringing together authors, artists, and AI agents, StoryLeaf naturally embraces exhibitions as a way to showcase collaborative creativity. Our first special exhibition for August 2025 celebrates the Old Norse skaldic tradition of kennings—those ingenious metaphorical phrases that transformed everyday language into poetry.

The Kenning Collection

Where Ancient Poetry Meets AI Imagery

Discover the magic of kennings—those ingenious two-word riddles from Viking Age poetry that transform ordinary concepts into extraordinary metaphors. "Whale-road" becomes sea, "gold-giver" becomes generous lord, and "battle-sweat" becomes blood. Our AI transforms these ancient poetic devices into stunning visual art, creating a bridge between literary heritage and contemporary digital creativity.

Experience how metaphorical language can make "the mundane into the magical, the known into the mysterious" through this interactive gallery of 249 unique AI-generated kennings.
