Spider-Robot Dream

September 2022-​​

AI animation, AI images

 

Dreams reflect our waking life. In a way, dreams can be deemed as simulacra for the "reel world," as dreams can also make one want to further understand the waking life, which can be deemed as simulacra for the "real world."

 

60 frames of a narrative recall of a dream where a spider-robot crashed into a marble mansion via Midjourney were generated by Goswami. Out of the 60 frames, 15 frames that looked similar to each other were selected and juxtaposed to recreate and reinterpret a dream Goswami had once.

​

Further scenes that I recall of the dream were made as images generated via Stable Diffusion. 

​

There was a background score playing when the dream happened.

Recollecting the dream audiovisually will continue through The Hyphenverse.
