Shapes Of Perception: The Journey

"Shapes of Perception: The Journey" is a deep dive into the alchemical mysteries where art meets technology.
Born from a childhood fascination with alchemy and a lifelong quest to unravel the
secrets of nature and technology, this collection melds advanced AI techniques with a philosophical exploration. "Shapes of Perception: The Journey" is a single, evocative video that represents the
culmination of an extensive journey into the alchemical fusion of art and technology.
This project leverages the original abstract art collection "Shapes of Perception", born in December 2023 (Available to be seen at my Instagram @mrgattax)
which explores the fluid boundaries of sensory experience and cognitive interpretation.
Each animation within the video has been meticulously crafted, refined through
advanced AI and mixed media techniques. The creative process began with the use of Midjourney for initial art generation, followed by enhancements utilizing 150 curated pieces from the original collection to generate a custom LORA model with OneTrainer, captioned with batch Interrogator, utilizing ViT-H-14 OpenCLIP model inside Stable Diffusion WebUI, which allowed a better visual coherence, also curating few pieces from the original collection to be processed with a latent upscale in ComfyUI, and after that, dynamic animations were developed using
AnimateDiff, with the AnimateLCM model. Cutting-edge tools like Pertubed Attention
Guidance, AnimateLCM LORA, v3_sd15_adapter LORA, Tile Controlnet, and IPAdapter brought intricate movements to life, while still maintaining the general structure of the initial base images (image to video). Final video adjustments were made using Topaz
Video for upscale and Capcut for post-processing, ensuring a seamless and
high-quality visual experience. Song made with Udio and Voice made with ElevenLabs.
