Tyrian Purple
Visual artist Maryam Faridani and composer Douglas Boyce have collaborated to create an AI-generated film set to premiere in early 2024. The filmmaker uses the poetry of Melissa Range and Boyce's musical setting as the origin of prompts images and video, producing a method of controlling the AI to generate dynamic and aesthetically resonant footage that complements the artistic intents of the creators; in the music and poetry, isorhythm and polyphonic evoke the subtle play between poetic theme and musical form found in the Ars Nova, while amplifying the dark philosophy of Range's poetry.
Music performed by Byrne:Kozar:Duo.
