About the artwork
This piece is the result of a shift in both motion and style. I wanted to refine the process to handle black and white imagery while introducing a rough, more aggressive motion to the portrait. The web of white lines cutting across the frame that appeared creates the feeling that the breaks are active and constantly rearranging the person. It feels like the subject is caught between two different frequencies, never quite lining up. I tried to make the audio match that distortion and constant motion of the video.

Audio explanation
Listen to Birddog discuss this work.
Diego Torres, also known as Birddog (born 1988, Zacatecas, Mexico), is a California-based graphic/UI designer and AI artist working exclusively with AI-driven digital media. His practice explores identity, mortality, surrealism, and the fractured nature of reality, using glitched aesthetics to rebuild familiar forms into evocative, dreamlike compositions and loops. Constantly refining his visual taste after more than a decade in professional design, Diego pairs traditional design principles with tools like Midjourney, ComfyUI, and Stable Diffusion to challenge ideas of permanence and reality. His work has been exhibited at IHAM Gallery (Paris), Casa NUA (São Paulo), and Artcrush Gallery (Belgium). Most recently, he earned third place in Claire Silver’s AI Art Contest #8. Drawn to the unpredictability of AI and the fragility of existence, he pursues a balance between control and chaos while evolving his eye.
