Animals of the Milky Way
summary
A short film called Animals of the Milky Way assembles AI-generated creatures by feeding a neural image model with 15th‑century animal engravings, Darwinian/19th‑century zoology prints and contemporary starfield photos, then editing the outputs into a 128‑year‑old medium of film; soundtrack credits include former planet Pluto and Verdi; process is described as one third AI, one third chance, one third question; a seven‑page art book titled Separatrix with Katarina Grosse accompanies the film and the piece screens successfully at DLD.
