Imagine a World, October 2022
AI-generated video (text-to-image, text-to-text, and text-to-voice; video editing software, visual effects software)
London-based artist Guli Silberstein has been creating digital video artworks for over twenty years. He is inspired by dreams, visions, and memories that manifest in glitched moving images that continuously transform and evolve. Imagine a World brings these Surrealist ideals of the unconscious mind into the present; the video visualizes a dreamlike journey through otherworldly landscapes and futuristic figures. By engaging with the art historical depictions of Surrealist imagery, the subconscious of AI tools, and his own personal experiences, Silberstein creates a multifaceted video project that allows the viewer to “imagine a world where technology is advanced beyond our wildest dreams.”

José Sarmiento-Hinojosa once wrote: "In Silberstein’s works, the image error or glitch is always representative, a phantasmagoric presence of sorts, evoking the spiritual, the political, the intimate, the human: it’s the activity of mankind at its most critical, involved in war, conflict, acts of resistance, but also in the intimate, the tender and its relation with nature."
