Machine Dreams sets out to embrace the tools of Generative AI with meticulously detailed prompts. To shed the weight of judgment and let the imagination run hand in hand with imperfection. This is my  nonsensical and satirical approach to the reality we find ourselves in. To poke fun at life in a digital sandbox. The following shorts are to be seen as very carefully prompted nonsense with no higher purpose other than to be absurd. 

 

These tools are not used to replace intention, but to loosen its grip. They open doors to images, rhythms, and narratives that surprise even me. These shorts are fully realized ideas brought to life while also introducing happy accidents, which is a side effect of collaborating with the unknown. What follows is a collection of short films born from that sense of enthusiasm, these visions are truly shaped by play. This is the result when control softens, and the act of making becomes an act of discovery.
