Director and visual artist Alessandro Bavari, whose unhinged Cold Burning Show short graced the cover of Stash 168, cranks the character chaos up a few more notches in his latest AI experiment called RAW #03.
Alessandro Bavari: “Presented as a series of unmediated digital artifacts, these AI-generated sequences reject the constraints of narrative, dismantling traditional cinematic logic in favor of pure kinetic energy.
“The result is a deliberate embrace of the aesthetic of error, revealing the dreamlike volatility of generative AI systems.”
“The project documents a dialogue between artist and algorithm, where the ‘raw material’ — despite minimal post-production — captures the machine’s internal logic, transitioning the viewer from a storytelling paradigm to a purely formalist exploration.
“The result is a deliberate embrace of the aesthetic of error, revealing the dreamlike volatility of generative AI systems. By foregrounding DeepDream and glitch aesthetics, the work interrogates the plastic nature of latent space through a series of evolving morphogenetic forms.”
