Clouds (Milo Poelman)
Video, 2023
About the artwork
While working on the project we had made quite some videos, but after looking at what we had made so far we came to realize that all the works were depicting body parts and upclose abstractions. With “Clouds”, together with for example landscape 1-3 or forest 1-3, we tried to imagine the space in which it could live, and what this could look like. AI-generated video created in collaboration with multiple AI models using shot footage as the basis.

Listen to Milo Poelman discuss this work.
Milo Poelman's artistic practice is deeply rooted in the belief that technology extends the natural world. Through his work, he explores and exposes the complex relationship that exists between technology and its natural environment. Poelman's approach to art is research-oriented, and the outcomes of his investigations are expressed through visual work.
A distinctive feature of Poelman's practice is the close collaboration, or co-creation, between himself and technology. This collaborative process likely involves using technological tools or mediums to produce visual expressions that reflect the intertwined nature of the artificial and the natural. By delving into this relationship, Poelman contributes to a deeper understanding of how technology and the natural world intersect and interact.
The artist's work serves as a lens through which viewers can contemplate and appreciate the intricate dynamics between the technological and the natural, fostering a richer dialogue about the evolving role of technology in our environment.
