I'm obsessed with abstract films with optical soundtracks and I didn't know this one. 😱 "The optical soundtrack has been re-photographed to appear on the screen as the corresponding sound is heard."

“AI imagery looks like shit. But that is its main draw to the right. if AI was capable of producing art that was formally competent, surprising, soulful, they wouldn’t want it.”

It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

Is er overeenkomst tusschen klank rhythme en kleurafwisseling?

_blank @null66913.net · Dec 1

I've just found out that there's a similar film by Jean Painlevé. In case you're not familiar with him, he was a filmmaker and photographer with a background in biology. He was specialized in underwater fauna and he has some experimental films related to that, which were the ones that I knew.
