Videos
AI-generated video is a new and rapidly evolving medium. The finalists highlight a range of approaches—whether experimenting with familiar styles of animation or live action, remixing existing genres, or testing the boundaries of video art in different ways. Each submission contributes to the ongoing exploration of this field, and we’re pleased to share the selected works in the exhibition.
