About the artwork
The first installment of ‘inter-illogic.’ This body of Ai video work represents the illusive qualities of the dream realm - how our hallucinogenic surroundings can disperse and transform at a glance and take us through an unpredictable journey of illogic randomness as our subconscious feeds us subliminal messages of our fears, desires and everything in between. This piece displays a sequence of subtle illusions as the men in silver seamlessly morph, disappear and shape-shift through their transitional outdoor environments. With emphasis on the interchanging finer details we often don’t think twice about while we dream, this piece reflects the unforeseeable contradictions that often surround REM sleep visions.

Audio explanation
Listen to Belowsubconscious discuss this work.
Belowsubconscious is a creator who merges the concepts of surrealism and distortion through the lens of AI tools. Within this space, visual scenes defy conventional logic, encapsulating the intricacies of an otherworldly reality. Her creative journey begins with generating text-prompted images rooted in an initial idea and evolves through iterative processes, where numerous versions are meticulously crafted until a compelling vision materializes, translating into a video.
Additionally, Belowsubconscious thoughtfully selects a soundscape that harmonizes with the animation, considering the emotions evoked by the visuals and choosing sounds that complement them. Between visual and auditory elements, Belowsubconscious navigates the synthesis of surrealism, AI-driven exploration, and meticulous craftsmanship. This approach unveils a world where the illogical finds its own poetic logic.
