Anthrocinematica: Unsophisticated

Anthrocinematica is an AI video collection composed of 500 perfect loop sequences. Each sequence zooms in on a single photo from a wall of photos in one of thirteen rooms, where each room is located in different countries (Ethiopia, Finland, India, US, Japan). In addition, each room has two dimensions, one where the wall of photos are of people and places in Japan and the other is of people and places in the US. This all forms an imperfect yet idealistic microcosm of human life both on a global scale, but also a personal one as the duality of each room reflects the multi-cultural heritage of the artist. Leaning into the nature of AI, these concepts are also blended together in unusual and subtle ways, which helps to show how the world is not black and white, but it is a blend of many different elements to form what makes us all human.
