This is Ourselves: An AI actor lip flap remix
This video remixes Green screen Template (An increasingly heated & snarky dialogue) by Dayna McLeod and Colleen Laird, a video essay that uses AI actors reciting a script generated by AI (based on a prompt by Ariel Avissar) that stages 2 public video essay scholars in a debate about videographic criticism.
Remixing the Green screen Template with b-roll sourced from pexels.com, this video replaces the AI script with excerpts from Under Pressure, performed by Freddy Mercury and David Bowie, to play with lip flap and focus on the embodiment of the AI actors.
