Hit the Unexpected Future button

Super interested in this new project from Special Guest X. The well-named 1st AI Machine is the first physical device for creating video with AI. First you create images, which the machine uses to generate an animated storyboard, and then you choose the cinematic style (such as “Nordic Noir” or “Childlike”) using dials on the hardware interface, then the machine makes that into a 30 second film. Yes this is a concept piece and in many ways is really strange but there is something interesting to me about embedding these functions into a piece of hardware. Maybe in 10 years this will look to us like a Bontempi. I can totally see this kind of thing finding a place in live AV practices. Could also be that I can’t resist a machine that has “corporate ladder'“ and “unexpected future” buttons.
