About the artwork
This mini series of unpredictable, dreamlike simulations, combines elements of the past and future of video technology - employing contemporary AI tools that are fabricated to imitate the aesthetic of 1900s Technicolor. Through bold, saturated palettes and evocative visual quirks, this amalgamation emulates the physical world in an irrational, surrealistic manner - composing its own genesis, with moments of lucidity through conflicting abstract forms and hues.

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.
