The Guided Tour

The Guided Tour is an animated film in the speculative fiction genre, exploring the interpretation and value of objects. It takes place in a museum in the future, where humanity is scrutinised and misunderstood. Building on previous works, such as “A Monument for a Sim Inventory” (2023) and “Human Resource the Musical” (2023), I explore game engine tools and AI to create a tale of object-making. The “song” is produced by a glitch in text-to-speech software that fails to interpret a series of letters in sequence (aaaa e.g.). A portal into a possible future where the physical may no longer exist in the same way, and materials have a different value?
