The Hypergaussian War

The Hypergaussian War

The Hypergaussian War is an AI-generated feature film in which forgotten video game avatars from past eras rise to fight an endless, algorithmic war. Obsolete 8-bit warriors, polygonal relics, and motion-captured ghosts clash across surreal landscapes that merge the logic of digital combat with the haunting depth of 16th-century Flemish painting. Each battle unfolds within hybrid architectures—half cathedral, half code—where pixels and brushstrokes coexist in luminous chaos. The film charts the evolution of game aesthetics, from pixelated minimalism to photorealistic excess, transforming visual history into a battlefield of memory and computation. Both elegy and spectacle, The Hypergaussian War reflects on obsolescence, artificial intelligence, and the endless recursion of images seeking meaning in their own destruction.

The Dante Quartet

The Dante Quartet

A visual representation, in four parts, of one man's internalization of "The Divine Comedy." Hell is a series of multicolored brush strokes against a white background; the speed of the changing images varies. "Hell Spit Flexion," or springing out of Hell, is on smaller film stock, taking the center of the frame. Montages of color move rapidly with a star and the edge of a lighted moon briefly visible. Purgation is back to full frame; blurs of color occasionally slow down then freeze. From time to time, an image, such as a window or a face, is distinguishable for a moment. In "existence is song," colors swirl then flash in and out of view. Behind the vivid colors are momentary glimpses of volcanic activity.
