Uncanny Bastards - Provoking the Film Industry

<p><strong>What is beyond our imagination? How can we extend our dreams and transform them into physical reality?</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>‘Uncanny Bastards’ aims to provoke the creative process of the designer/director and the performance of the actor within the film industry.</p> <p><br></p> <p>This research examines the latest tools in artificial intelligence (AI) and multi-material 3D printing (MMP). It explores how they can act as a catalyst for cognitive expansion and promote unpredictability for film industry members who work in the design and conception processes.</p> <p><br></p> <p>A defining element of this research is the documentation of how highly refined and heterogeneous physical artefacts achieved only through multi-material 3D printing (MMP) can manifest the uniquely generated AI designs. </p> <p>These computer generate dobjects (CGO) are then defined in orchestrated scenarios that inspire genuine and raw acting responses. The implementation of co-authorship with external mediums creates a cohesivere presentation of the research motives in all aspects of the film industry process.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The outcomes of the research highlight the importance of innovation in all aspects of the film industry; doing so will create a rich and compelling experience for those both in front and behind the camera.</p>
