Invisible Cities Atlas — mattwood.fyi

Invisible Cities Atlas

An interactive atlas of the 55 cities from Italo Calvino's 1972 novel, where Marco Polo describes fantastical cities to Kublai Khan. Each city is procedurally generated with live sound and organized by eleven thematic categories across nine chapters.

ascii.rest: Animated ASCII Art for Web Pages Both are creative generative web experiences that produce aesthetic output procedurally — ASCII art animation and procedurally generated city soundscapes share a similar spirit of algorithmic creative expression
Before Pixels: Modular Industrial Dashboards Both projects organize complex information into navigable visual interfaces — the industrial dashboard and the city atlas both solve the problem of making structured multi-entity data explorable
Claude Opus 5.5 Visualizes Invisible Cities Both directly engage with Calvino's Invisible Cities as source material — the atlas provides the interactive framework while Claude Opus 5.5 is used to visualize the same 55 cities
Graphical - Visual Theme Builder with AI Both involve procedural/AI-assisted generation of visual and experiential elements, with live interactive feedback as a core feature

Supports

I Don't Want to Read What You Didn't Write The atlas is a counterexample to passive AI-generated text — it demonstrates that rich literary worlds can be expressed through interactive, generative, non-textual experiences rather than written descriptions

TerrainSR: Terrain Super-Resolution Model Both work with geospatial/cartographic data representation — Invisible Cities Atlas deals with city-scale geographic visualization while TerrainSR enhances the underlying terrain elevation data that such maps depend on
