ELECTRIC DREAMS
In the project ‘Electric Dreams’, my initial research was lead by experimentation with artificial intelligence and generative art. This body of research allowed me to produce a large amount of moving image and image based content, that I was able to develop further. Taking what I had learnt when creating generative art, I combined my abilities in sound design and 3D modelling to create two short films. One titled Dark, and the other Light. In the dark video, the computers only form of expression is through sound and visuals. Without explanation, or language, it is perceived as evil. However the second ‘light’ video appears to be translated, and seems much more illusive- yet is comprehensible. The viewer characterises, and may even sympathise with the computer. These videos are open for your interpretation as the content within (speech and visuals) was produced using general adversarial networks.
