Metamimics on view for The Moving Images Media Art Program (MIMA) in West Hollywood, CA. | 9157 Sunset Blvd. (Streamlined Arbor) | 2025
Metamimics (2023) is a series of AI-generated video works that explore the material nature of AI while seeking to unveil aspects of ourselves. Each scene was created using an AI-generated image of a stage performance, combined with text prompts depicting everyday places such as beaches, dinners, and pools. In certain scenes, the stage performance seems to bleed into these places, such as a stage light shining through a blue sky. This spatial bleed unveils its own cosmology — a black box stage through which AI performs. The music, also AI-generated, features upbeat tempos and off-pitch melodies, creating a slight dissonance that oddly humanizes the simulated experience of self.
