About the artwork
"Lightspeed" is a haunting AI-crafted short film that propels a solitary horse through a chimerical journey across time. Echoing the enigmatic narrative style of "EO," this piece captures the essence of displacement and the poignant intersection of nature and civilization. As scenes transition from ancient earth to alien futures at a dizzying pace, the horse remains a constant—a timeless witness to the unfolding spectacle of progress. This film is a visual ode to the wild spirit persisting amid the relentless flow of time, a dreamlike voyage that questions the reality of freedom in a world bound by constant change.
