Period 9.

AI Short Film, 10”06’ (2024)

This is a hypnotic conceptual piece exploring art and reality in the age of AI.

I am passionate about creating art at the “in-between” spaces of painting, cinema, theatre, and conceptual art. AI fascinates me as a tool for art; it excels at exploring "what if" scenarios, freeing us from technical limitations and opening doors to endless explorations. Though AI is still imperfect—prone to errors and misinterpretations in responding to prompts—these quirks are precisely what captivate me. The speculative nature of "what if" embodies the essence of art as I see it.

In my cultural context, we interpret everything through the relationships of the five elements, an art form that strives for balance. From 2024 to 2043, we enter Period 9, an era dominated by the fire element, which symbolizes new technology, civilization, and war—not just physical conflicts but a state where all elements are in contention. Fire represents rapidity, instability, and destruction but also creativity and construction in new forms. Art continuously evolves in its creation and perception, and so it does in the age of AI.

This piece begins by examining an artwork representing fire within an art gallery. It's a dynamic display: repeating, changing, unstable, and uncontrollable—yet exciting, unpredictable, and imaginative. AI serves as both a new language and context for art and our realities, fostering a subconscious dialogue between myself and the machine.
