TRYING TO SERIES
This series is trying to deal with a crisis unfolding within a synthetic planetary organism. It showcases single purpose people trying to perform simple survival tasks (they’re failing) and an AI trying to both render and interpret a reality (also failing). The series captures a temporal snapshot of an ongoing conflict with no possible resolution in sight.

“For every gesture, another actor. ln the service of each word, each action, we shall summon another character to life; such is our taste. (...) In a word - we want to create mankind a second time, in the image and semblance of a mannequin."
Bruno Schulz
The cycles of loops could be viewed as a piece of expanded cinema about a conflict internal to a synthetic / hybrid organism comprising of an ai framework, humans, wounded ecosystems and failing infrastructure. Some threshold has been passed after which nothing works as it used to. It’s a moment of an universal crisis which stimulates a collective, synchronous and fruitless effort. Both the text to video ai algorithm and it’s synthetic mannequin-people are failing together.
