New technology brings fresh opportunities for artists to expand their subject matter and visual effects. In Super ORganic Aunties (SORA), Niceaunties utilizes OpenAI’s video software, SORA, to enhance her world-building in a quasi-documentary style. Thanks to the tool's ability to render text into super photo-realistic videos, Niceaunties has introduced her new series of works into everyday settings such as the home and the street. Her signature surreal sequencing merges with a realistic visual dictionary, adding an exciting new layer of understanding to auntie culture. Through SORA, Niceaunties continues to explore and represent the question of what it means to be an auntie in contemporary society. This series juxtaposes the fantastical elements of her surreal imagery with the grounded realism of everyday environments, offering viewers a nuanced perspective on the roles and identities of aunties today.

Goddess

Goddess is an esoteric tale chronicling a being’s experience on Earth, divided into four chapters. The film begins with a scene of meticulous fishball-making, a skill perfected by the wife of a fishmonger. It then transitions to depict the countless household chores and tasks performed over the years by ‘the Goddess’—so repetitive and mindless that she eventually forgets who she is and where she came from. One day, she wakes up and leaves without hesitation. Upon her return to the heavenly realms, when asked about her time on Earth, she looks back only to see it as a mere illusion. This film is an homage to Niceaunties’ grandmother. Created, animated, and edited by Niceaunties in the programmes SORA and runwayml, udio and elevenlabs.
