How The Surrealistic Dream Canyons Came To Be

NOVEMBER 2022

This was an assignment for my Digital Art II course. We studied computer vision, how computers "see" and process visual material. After learning about those concepts, our professor told us to create a video "through the eyes of a machine," specifically focusing on what we think a computer would see in a dream. We were challenged to use a AI-powered materials, as well. I took the concepts of computer vision via construction and in blob detection (a type of color/shape recognition) and created this landscape! mediums include…

DALL-E Mini for inspiration images
Polycam LiDAR scanning for canyon structure (i scanned my wrinkled sheets!)
Blender for environment & animation
Melobytes text-to-melody site for background music
DeepStory and TalkTransformer for AI-generated script
Wideo text to speech site
iOS Procreate to draw the canyon texture
Adobe Premiere for A/V editing

total shot in the dark and a long winded process, but with a pretty cool product if you ask me. super interesting how the ai-generated script went from the canyon’s construction (my prompt) to spirituality, and even some self awareness!
