NU ADVENTURES IN AI

As part of my growing fascination with AI generative video, I created this music video with Sora for my friend Jorge Andrés Martínez’s new song Nu.
This was mainly inspired by Pink Floyd’s videos from the late 80s and 90s, as well as early computer-generated imagery from about the same time. I wanted to evoke a sense of gentle abstraction and wonder that would match the melody whilst carrying the viewer through a journey of discovery.
However, the main objective was to create a seemingly coherent narrative using generative video as I’m getting more familiar with the tools in preparation for an upcoming personal project through which I plan to channel most of my creative outlet.

DECREPIT IS THE FLESH! ALL SORTS OF MONSTERS + ANIMATION

PART 1. Last October, Tablet magazine commissioned me to create a series of illustrations inspired by various texts from different writers, each exploring aspects of monsters (and the idea of them) connected to Jewish lore and culture.
To provide narrative cohesion, I structured the project as a pentaptych forming a timeline.
The sequence begins with the myth of the Golem—perhaps the most iconic figure in the lore—and progresses through classic characters like Frankenstein, Dracula, Renfield, and revenant-like ghouls. Creatures that, while not inherently Jewish, have compelling ties to the folklore and themes of otherness in ways that are often intricate, unexpected and complicated. The timeline culminates with Ben Grimm (AKA The Thing) from Fantastic Four, as an example of a modern evolution of Jewish monstrous characters in popular culture, as explained by writer Andrew Fox.
Yet, the conclusion felt incomplete, and to provide a more fitting closure, I extended the narrative into space, introducing an element of cosmic horror to the original sequence.

PART 2. Once the illustrations were complete, it felt only natural to bring the project to life through animation. Though this wasn’t part of the initial commission from Tablet, I expanded the project by creating a custom soundtrack, handling the sound mixing, and using an AI voice to narrate a text I wrote for the piece: DECREPIT IS THE FLESH.

NEW WORK FOR INC. MAGAZINE

Lately, I’ve decided to incorporate motion into my work. With moving images becoming increasingly important, I believe it’s essential to offer more than just a static image whenever possible. One of my first experiments was this editorial portrait of Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell for the article Why Powell and Yellen May Have Pulled Off the Impossible With the Economy in the October 2024 issue of INC. magazine.
