About NovelSpace
NovelSpace merged deep learning models with web applications to build interactive fiction. Diffusion models generated images, large language models generated dialogue, and the reader took part in the story. Its debut, Elysium 2084, sent travellers into a dystopia and sent them home with a graphic novel of their journey. The work continues at Synthemo, in Fluxion and Northline, and in ElumSys, the next Elysium.
Benji, the founder's Elysium alter ego.
Founder
Philip's career has run through technology companies, computer graphics studios and startups, including Nvidia, Logitech and Light Field Lab. It led him to what he saw as the start of a new paradigm in computing.
“We make experiences in collaboration with artificial intelligence: images, language, video, music.”
Today he runs Synthemo, the studio behind Fluxion and Northline. You can even talk to his digital twin, DT01, on Northline.
Technology
Elysium 2084 ran on two systems. One coordinated the characters, and the other gave them a world to remember.
01
A cast of cooperating agents that tells one story.
02
The memory that keeps every character in-world.
Projects
An AI narrator guides you through a dystopian megapolis, rendering every turn as a photograph. Rebuilt in 2025, redesigned in 2026.
Live
SynthemoImage and video generation across 20+ models, from a single prompt to node pipelines and storyboards.
Live · free beta
SynthemoAI personas and digital twins with a voice and a face, that tell you plainly what they are.
Live
The next Elysium: an audio-first, purely generative world that remembers what you tend toward.
In design
A voice-only first breath of the ElumSys experience: just you, the Entity and the Drift.
Planned prototype
Studio-era ideas for a creator platform, a companion story world and a rich-media organiser.
