Somatic Journey (by eigenflow)
series of 220 AI-generated photographs + 4 micro-videos

Nature as a delicate experience

We are a nature-sensitive species. In a time of high severe weather phenomena, embracing our inner connection with the natural surroundings is essential.

Through this collaboration, Diane Drubay and somaticbits created a series of AI-generated photographs composed of 220 artificial weather phenomena. The pictures are being created from dozens of breathtaking seascapes captured worldwide, then transformed into thousands of pieces to synthesize artificial landscapes, and finally recompose a synthetic meteorological journey.

This project is inspired by the daily collective attention on weather and its impact on our lives and emotions, and how certain natural environment transforms the way we feel and think.

For the exhibition presented on alterHEN, they extracted abstracts of their somatic journey through 4 videos expressing the meteorological and social turbulence of today.

More about eigenflow:
At the edge of synthetic nature, art as a frame for future visions. eigenflow elaborates new realities from what nature confuses with artificial and what we confuse with nature. eigenflow is the collaboration between somaticbits and Diane Drubay. Together, they disrupt the flow of nature to recreate synthetic natural environments sharing purpose-driven visions.
