These two videos should be seen as one (see both versions the Bright-Side and Dark-Side version). A diptych which was inspired by the outstanding concept of the i/o album with its dark and bright-side mixes of each song. This perfectly made and delightful work, shaping the same composition into different perspectives as two different journeys into one song, highly resonated with me to create a vision giving those two mixes two visual views as two perspectives into a synthetic natural world which is almost the same but different. They were realised by an informed, intelligent system which was precisely briefed to create my artistic vision in a custom framework. By this system, I created a text script proposal on visual scenes which are initially based on Peter Gabriel’s original lyrics and rewrite them correlating my brief. This brief included precisely picked and curated descriptions of literary figures, poets, philosophers, directors, painters, sculptors, visionaries, technologies, film materials, and an aesthetic framework, which I had in mind to brief how the synthetic scenes should basically look. This visual script let the system output two versions as two dimensions, two visual perspectives which we as humans can resonate and contemplate us in. When you perceive the synthetic images of just pure natural scapes and views with the empowerment of the sound and Gabriel’s original readable lyrics, there is not only the bright and dark visual interpretation but also a highly sensitive layer of empathy and individual perception and interpretation. This empathy pattern is precisely rendered into any frame by a so-to-speak empathy module which can trigger semantics in human perception for the bright version and for the dark version. You will perceive this immaterial layer differently in both versions. It’s highly sensitive. You will feel the vibration; it’s coming out of the ground.
