Synopsis
Through the deliberate manipulation of 35mm film, a unique collage emerges from scratched, cut-up, and burned images that have been treated with corrosive liquids, hand-painted, and modified. Amid this magical chaos, an artificial intelligence partially explores and interprets the boundaries of the unpredictable and the destructive beauty. A fascinating interplay between analog manipulation, planned chance, and AI.
