About the artwork
"Through the Crowd" is a continuation of my work with masks. When I have free time I like to explore what characters and motions I can push, and this one had a nice bit of synchronicity to it.
I've been mixing jazz into the music I make and the little tune for this piece came together right as I finished the visual. I almost didn't use it because of the distortions in it, but that ended up being exactly why it worked. The distorted audio matched the distorted vocals perfectly and it just clicked.
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.
