Hydra offers a glimpse into a place where technology has evolved to offer near-limitless creation, and a group of elusive tech-savants that turn their abilities inwards to create a new vision of themselves - will technology bring lead them to nirvana or is their self-experimentation blurring their essence and identity?
I/ Hydra was created through generative, machine-learning technology, incorporating a workflow moved from storyboard to Midjourney image generation, producing over 1,500 still images, to video utilizing @runwayapp and Stable Diffusion, before being run through a @touchdesigner network that switched between videos in synchronization with music, before finally running through a circuit-bent @bpmcanalog video mixer to add noise, grain and glitch effects.
Special thanks to @jedcraddock_music for lending his amazing vocal talents to this song.
