Anthrocinematica is an AI video collection composed of 500 perfect loop sequences. Each sequence zooms in on a single photo from a wall of photos in one of thirteen rooms, where each room is located in different countries (Ethiopia, Finland, India, US, Japan). In addition, each room has two dimensions, one where the wall of photos are of people and places in Japan and the other is of people and places in the US. This all forms an imperfect yet idealistic microcosm of human life both on a global scale, but also a personal one as the duality of each room reflects the multi-cultural heritage of the artist. Leaning into the nature of AI, these concepts are also blended together in unusual and subtle ways, which helps to show how the world is not black and white, but it is a blend of many different elements to form what makes us all human.

Cycles of the chic remain,
Under changing sky.

Pale Horse

This is dedicated to all the artists who show up day in and day out, regardless of whether it's a good day or a bad one, and whether they feel like it or not. Despite the arduous nature of the journey, their commitment remains unwavering, guided by an internal compass that propels them forward. This embodies the essence of an artist's life, driven not by economic considerations or hype, but by an unadulterated desire to create. While it might appear to be a relentless grind for most, for them, it's as essential as breathing; to stop is to perish. As time marches on and technology evolves, the indomitable creative spirit endures. From the old masters to the emerging ones, we gather here to celebrate each of you, as you persist in your creative pursuits, despite the challenges of the grind, or perhaps, because of it.

Grind

Suits in herded throngs,
Cattle in a concrete field,
Irony plays on.

Panopticon - Brooklyn

Close together, yet,  
Each world in silhouette,  
Existence entwined.

Created by Chikai in collaboration with AI.

Panopticon - Nightlife

Panopticon

When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Ascending to the sky's edge,
