About the artwork
Climate change and the environmental crisis were huge parts of my childhood, and I had overblown anxieties growing up. Ecology, speeds through a series of rapidly changing scenes, mirroring the frantic pace and the rush surrounding these topics. The audiovisual style is designed to leave no space for thinking, echoing the nature of the topic. In the end, evolution is reversed as the walking girl turns into a fish and the camera moves from aquarium to the ocean.

Audio explanation
Listen to Alice Gordon discuss this work.
Alice Lane Gordon has been long engaged in the meditative practice of sketching and doodling. While these have been constants in her life, artificial intelligence has recently become the catalyst for professional practice to emerge.
Identifying as a raw AI maximalist, she shuns post-editing processes, and her artistic journey is marked by extensive exploration and experimentation with AI text-to-image and text-to-video tools. Alice draws inspiration from the surrealist movement, infusing her work with a passion that manifests in a distinctive style she terms "absurdist surreal lonerism." This approach reflects her philosophy, capturing the essence of solitude and the absurd in a visually compelling manner.
