This commission by Absurdeity was straightforward and resonated. “Create a set of videos, each focusing on one well-known and entirely ridiculous life-improving aphorism.”

This resonated because I’ve been examining the sitcom formula, reimagining a format that was designed to fill up broadcast space—episodes of distilled melodrama that can be tuned into at any point. They tell you everything, but don’t say anything. We remember those shows, but none of the moments stick out. Using AI video to revisit these narratives always lands in this manic-depressive space, with characters reduced to caricatures.

This theme Absurdeity proposed completely aligned with what I am currently sifting through in my practice.
