Flowers Blooming Backward Into Noise (2023)

Warning: This video contains fast-cut images that some have compared to a strobe effect.

Flowers Blooming Backward Into Noise is a 20-minute animated “documanifesto” about AI art. It explains how Diffusion models work, as well as their entanglement with composite photography, statistical correlations and eugenics. In the end, the film veers into my own work, and how I see my work: as bending the tool to create images that may not be beautiful, but are a product of rejecting automated characterizations of images, bodies, and human beings.

The film was created for the Adrenalin Prompt exhibition at the Forking Room in Seoul, and as a result, a version subtitled into Korean is also available here or using the button below.
