About the artwork
"Into the DreamZzzone" is the first piece out of a new exploration. This one was more production focused, I was leaning heavily into Comfy Cloud and learning to adapt without all the nodes from my usual workflows. So I treated it as a test and let that restriction become part of the process.
I'm using Comfy to manipulate each frame individually. It adds this layer of chaos that I can't get any other way. The style and characters are something I've been developing for about three years now and it's one I keep coming back to. There's something about it that still feels unfinished in the best way. This type of video stemmed from a conversation I had with Pablo about dreams starting to mimic AI renders. Where I see shifting noise now when I dream and the figures never really materializing into anything solid. It happens after I've been working through a lot of renders.
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.
