AI Projects
In this section, I would like to present some of my recent work on Generative AI. The applications used include ChatGPT, Midjourney, Runway ML, Luma AI, Suno AI, Elevenlabs, Domo AI, and Hedra as well as Stable Diffusion and other tools. The work is generated at the AI Lab of the Journalism & Media Studies Centre (JMSC) at the University of Hong Kong and is part of my teaching as a Senior Lecturer.

12 AI Variations about brother Lumière´s film "Worker Leaving The Lumière Factory In Lyon"
The rapid rise of Generative AI in the field of image and video generation will necessarily lead to a questioning of our concept of reality. I consider documentary film as a creative treatment of actuality. So, how will Generative AI position itself in this process of creative appropriation of reality?
Claiming that the images generated are not real is too simple. AI learns from the real world and then creates its own. In doing so, reality becomes deformed, manipulated and remodeled. In this respect, the work of an AI model is therefore in some ways comparable to that of a documentary filmmaker, even if it lacks the creative impetus, or does it?
The work being shown will address this question by returning to the origins of moving image production: to the Lumière brothers with their film "Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory in Lyon" from 1895. If we talk about Generative AI in film production, we necessarily need to ask whether an AI can generate this sequence using a text prompt. And if not, what will the AI do instead and what reality will it be?
