How to Wake Up the Ghosts is a project by Erik Peters and a collaboration between various artists about non-human intelligence and the ecological crisis.
To support the soundscape and narrative, I created a 7-minute film using AI-generated images with CLIP+VQGAN and post-processing methods.

To support the soundscape and narrative, I created a 7-minute film using AI-generated images. More specifically I created visual prompts based on the script and fed them into the recent VQGAN+CLIP model. I used the final frames as input for the next generation, and smoothened transitions and upscaled the video using post-processing methods.
The installation was created with support of Fiber Festival and exhibited at Tetem Kunst in Enschede during Gogbot Festival 2021, at Roodkapje in Rotterdam, and featured in the essay Queering The Machine Eye by Yasmin Morgan. A 3D render of the installation can be viewed on Vimeo.
