About the artwork

estudios sobre una atmósfera estocástica (versión dalle2) This collection uses five prompt-states as sequential stages of one video, seeded by an old DALL·E 2 image and reworked through my current cosmic terror prompt, where clouds and atmospheric optics become the canvas: stratified skies, nacreous iridescent films, tornasol color shifts, fractured rainbow bands, and multiple comet filaments that score and stain the air. Each stage shifts the emotional register, sometimes hesitant and diagnostic, sometimes luminous and triumphant, sometimes quiet and mysterious, so the day-to-night transition feels like light collapsing through layers while the atmosphere keeps trying to cohere into meaning, never reaching perfect symmetry, only bands, sheets, vectors, and suspended near-errors in motion.
