A Musical Playground

In Dreaming with Flamingos, my first digital interactive artwork, you play as a young flamingo tasked to restore a park’s lost song. Help the elder flamingos remember their lost wisdom — the life force that once fueled this musical playground — by solving riddles within the game.

Each solved riddle reveals a dynamic generative soundtrack, inspired by West African instruments. Your reward at the end of each level is two unique digital artworks inspired by two of my most loved Nigerian parables, co-created with Google technology.

A Collaboration with Google AI

With the Google Arts & Culture Lab, we created an experimental 3D playground using WebGL. The soundtrack, generated by Google DeepMind’s Lyria, is inspired by my Nigerian heritage. You can explore more than 400 possible sound combinations and curate your own music by playing in the park. We also fine-tuned a Google AI image generation model trained on my favourite designs to generate 38 collectible artworks in my signature bold and colourful style. Complete both levels to earn your artworks and curate your own soundtrack with musical surprises.

Storytelling, Technology and Ancient Tradition

Dreaming with Flamingos takes inspiration from a real-life physical playground, Flamboyance of Flamingos, in London. When I was creating that space, local members of the elderly community shared memories of flamingos actually living there. This sparked the idea to explore themes of memory, community and joy in the digital realm.

I’ve always been drawn to the power of storytelling. My Nigerian heritage, rich in folklore and vibrant traditions, fuels my artistic vision. With Google’s advanced AI tools, I’m bringing this to life in a whole new way — merging ancient wisdom with modern technology.
