Mitla | Underworld
Mitla | Underworld is a 3-minute, 20-second art film inspired by my visit to Teotihuacan and the tunnel beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. This short film expresses my feelings while walking through the 2000-year-old space, visited only by a few. I was inspired to consider the many possible ideas this newly revealed archeological site offered me.
Though the tunnel beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent has been fully explored and documented, there is a discovery of caves in Mitla near Oaxaca, Mexico. These places are near some of the oldest continually occupied sites in America. Hence the name MITLA | Underworld.
The short film is created utilizing Generative AI Toolsets and composited with real-time toolsets.
This short film is the first in a series of shorts I plan to make with Generative AI and Derivative Touchdesigner.
These new techniques provide a feeling of liberation through the ease of visualization and realization. Almost through imagination alone, a new creative palette is available where an artist can realize new visions through careful thought and consideration.
