The Chronicles of the Stochastic Parrot: Cosmotheoros

The Chronicles of the Stochastic Parrot: Cosmotheoros
This video (2024) is a fictional documentary inspired by Cosmotheoros: a visionary text on possible life on other planets written in 1698 by the great Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens, also considered as the first science-fiction book in history.
In collaboration with AI video generating I brought to life my archive of cut out imagery on popular-scientific topics, such as stones and minerals, plants, animals, space travel, art, medical science and marine life. The result presents intrinsically powerful but in essence still unintelligent techniques hallucinating on intelligent life in the universe.
