A collection of generative AI music video experiments
Shadows of Control is an AI music video that attempts to deal with the complexity an horror of MK Ultra and the continued systems of control that has shifted and is embedded in our technological existence. I am inspired by the BBC documentary Can't Get You Out of My Head by Adam Curtis and the failure of technology to liberate society in the way technological utopians once hoped it might.
A music video that explores the existential crises of artificial images. Is everything around us a sweet dream? Don't be lost by amazement, pay attention.
Synthetic humans reimagine the American cowboy in a wild west romance.
Synthetic humans learn to use their electric architecture to explore each others circuitry and find connection.
Out of Sync is a big band music video that takes a look back at the 1930s depression era synchronous swimming craze folded into the political divide of today, and the promises and failures of the synthetic humans to actually move in sync. In these swirling waters we might drown.
Synthetic Humans approach card board boxes to touch other humans. An accidental parody of VALIE EXPORT's TAP and TOUCH CINEMA performance. Due to the failure of AI to capture conceptual relationships to bodies and it's commercial based rendering it started to feel like a pharmaceutical commercial. So why not see that to fruition. I used GPT to help write the script and Suno AI to make the upbeat music we are all to used to hearing.
Launching a new fragrance Fires Embrace From the Wettest Place. An absurd look into the future and downfall of advertising with AI. The hyper commercialized synthetic humans are sourcing how many bodies to construct their own? Yet we are to continue to consume this construction, regurgitate and repeat.
Psychedelic puppet music video that explores the puppets coming to grips with their reality. Generated with runway Gen-3 Alpha.
Chair Chair What Are You? is an alien music video that questions the uses of "chair" from the perspective of alien life forms. Other intelligence that can see the form of chair, but not know its culture implications. Something the generative AI image/intelligence also presents in its diffused & distorted constructions of "chair". Confusion is compounded by finding an ancient text of a definition of a chair from the famous artwork One and Three Chairs by Joseph Kosuth.
Unseen Hands with Hidden Goals an AI music video that seeks to destroy the icon of the piano much like fluxus artist of the time Nam June Paik. The icon that represents the establishment resits deconstruction. AI seeks to render it whole no matter how fractured its image becomes. It calls in to questions the promises of AI and it systems of control.
Our technologies evolve so quickly that we miss opportunities within the obsolesces of the now outdated. Inspired by Nam June Paik's TV Robot work.
My Name is Andy? is an AI music video depicting a synthetic human caught in endless repetitions of himself trying to hone in their appearance to be like the iconic pop artist Andy Warhol. They repeatedly fail within the difference of repetitions found in generative images. Resulting in the fracturing of their identity into slightly similar caricatures of the famous icon. A parody of Eminem's My Name Is.
