EXHIBITION
OBSESSION
Here is the result
We challenged our students to explore this psychological landscape through the medium of AI video: to find their own obsession and give it form, sound, and soul.
This exhibition features a curated shortlist of finalists from our AI Video Generation course contest. Each creator has pushed the boundaries of technology to capture the essence of our theme with precision and raw expression. We are proud to open the gallery with the project from our competition winner.
Obsession is a state of deep focus. A simple thought enters the mind and refuses to leave. Your attention becomes so strong that everything else fades into the background. It can begin with something important — or something completely ordinary.
Obsession as a built-in mode of human existence. A study of the fundamental mechanics of human behavior and fixations.
