Axl Le: Inside the Simulation

From puppet making to AI filmmaking, Norway-based artist Axl Le is out here building worlds that hit harder than your favorite RPG. Inspired by video games, his characters get thrown into nightmare-level challenges you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. But don’t let the cyberpunk vibes fool you—Axl’s dystopia still serves up friendship, hope, and maybe even a little end-of-the-world banter. 

We caught up with him in Barcelona to spill the tea on his hauntingly gorgeous AI creations.
