    paper Dorchester Museum Amphitheatre Animation

    Maumbury Rings Amphitheatre Reconstruction: Commissioned by Dorchester Museum to be shown in their ‘Gladiators of Britain’ exhibition (a British Museum Partnership Exhibition), this video imagines the Roman Amphitheatre believed to have once stood on the site of Maumbury Rings.

    The animation has proved hugely popular so far - the museum Exhibitions Manager just emailed to say: “Your animation is so popular and one boy watched it 10 times yesterday trying to work out which type of gladiators they were and matching their outfits to the interpretation. Thank you so much for bringing this to us. We have over 550 visitors yesterday!”

    paper Assimilation - Surreal AI Inspired Animation

    A self-directed project - an experiment with AI art. Most of the backgrounds and some of the objects were created by an online AI art tool (Midjourney). After a few experiments generating various scenes I decided to incorporate them in an animation exploring the role of AI in our near future. I believe the technique has parallels in surrealist techniques of automatic art, frottage and dreamwork etc. The AI is training itself on a vast pool of images already created by humans, almost like a subconcious resevoir which we direct the ‘AI’ to draw from using key words and phrases. I found the process very stimulating, and there’s a lot to discuss in terms of validity and creativity. In any case this is here now.
