About the artwork
This piece was made at the beginning of AI video, and was one of my first ever experiments using text to video tools. I intended to create a surrealistic piece that conveyed both madness and ecstasy. The quirks in the outputs of AI video tools back then added to the joyous and playful message of this piece.

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.
