Meta-Reflections of Hope

The work is based on a series of artworks by Dmytro Fedorenko called „Asemic Meditations & Improvised Calligraphy”, that have been transformed into a meditative AI-loop.

Coincidentally both artists practise meditation, so they kind of wanted to create a work, that lets the viewer experience a meditative state of consciousness. Dmytro says: “It helps to stay sane and balanced during all these war news”.

As Shortcut is utilizing AI techniques in his work to reveal the meta-level of things for a long time, both artists agreed on going that path.

After running Dmytor’s works through a Freeform AI, the final snapshot has been animated and looped. The result was then amplified by running it through a mirror effect (to let it reflect on itself) and some more magical effects.

Based on this loop Dmytro created a meditative sound-scape pattern from his rhythmic meditation techniques, where a music event is layered from a series of abstract sonic actions.

In the final step, the loop has been rendered in high quality using an AI-based video-optimizer.
