Like the cordyceps fungus and their ant hosts, generative machine learning models take control of films of the past to further their own infectious spread.
The "Original Edit" premiered as a part of The Winnippeg Underground Film Festival 2023’s The 90 Second program. It also won the "AI Driven Film" category at the 2023 Chroma Art Film Festival.
