| Broke Bad by Ornagh 3:30 min, 2024 Soundtrack by Anja Kreysing |
AIs: GPT, Midjourney, Meshy, Deep motion, Radical.
Art Statement: Broke Bad is a surreal exploration of obsession,
addiction, and the intoxicating pull of a love that feels both thrilling
and destructive. Inspired by personal experience, the work captures the
high of being drawn to someone who is all wrong yet impossible to
resist—the electric danger, the reckless abandon, and the inevitable
crash. It is a Bonnie-and-Clyde kind of romance, where passion burns too
bright to last, and loss is as dramatic as the love itself. Through
distorted reality and heightened emotion, Broke Bad transforms raw
experience into something mythic, unraveling the beauty and devastation
of desire that consumes.
At its core, the work interrogates systems of control—who gets to have a
voice, and who decides what is heard. The journey to reclaim the tongue
becomes an act of defiance, a reassertion of agency. In the end, the
silenced erupt into movement, tongues breaking free in a final act of
liberation.
My use of AIs in XR:
Orna’s creative process is deeply intertwined with AI, using it as both a
tool and a collaborator in her artistic practice. Across her work, she
blends digital and physical realities, crafting immersive experiences
that unfold across XR technologies, performance, and storytelling.
AI-generated imagery and video play a crucial role in shaping her visual
language, allowing her to build layered, surreal worlds that evolve
dynamically. Motion capture, augmented by AI, breathes life into her
digital performances, seamlessly integrating real-time animation with
immersive narratives.
In her work, AI is not just a tool for efficiency but an enabler of new
creative possibilities. It accelerates ideation, refines concepts, and
opens up new avenues for storytelling, from VR painting to digital
sculpture. Her upcoming website is conceived as an AI-assisted
interactive experience, where visitors step into a world that unfolds
dynamically, revealing layers of story and meaning as they explore. She
envisions a system where generative AI contributes to procedural
storytelling, allowing narratives to shift and evolve based on user
interaction.
Her performances and mixed reality works incorporate AI-driven animation
and Unreal Engine environments that respond in real-time to live
performers. The integration of AI into these spaces enhances both
artistic expression and audience engagement, creating an interplay
between the digital and physical that feels alive and ever-changing. Her
approach to AI is both intuitive and exploratory, using it to expand
the boundaries of storytelling, performance, and visual art in ways that
feel organic and deeply personal.
