Generative AI Video Art

This cutting-edge studio course focuses on the use of text-to-video and image-to-video models to create surreal and experimental video art. Students will learn to “direct” AI, mastering prompt engineering, camera control within latent space, and style transfer techniques to produce visuals that were previously impossible to film.

§ 01 By the end you can
  1. Master Prompt Engineering for temporal media (Text-to-Video)
  2. Control AI camera movement and motion brushes (Runway/Pika)
  3. Maintain character and style consistency across generated clips
  4. Explore "Dream Logic" and morphing aesthetics unique to AI
  5. Navigate the ethics of AI generation and copyright in the arts
§ 02 Sixteen sessions

Advanced AI Techniques for Creative PracticeThis capstone-level technical course is for students who have mastered basic prompting and wish to push the engine to its limits.
AI as Co-CreatorThis course challenges the "Man vs. Machine" narrative, proposing instead a symbiotic relationship where Artificial Intelligence acts as a collaborator.
AI as Creative PartnerThis interdisciplinary studio course reframes Artificial Intelligence from a "tool" to a "collaborator." It focuses on the psychological and workflow dynamics of working with a non-human intelligence.
AI, Code, & Art (AI & Art track)Designed for the technical artist, this advanced track dives under the hood of generative tools. While other courses focus on using interface-based tools (like Midjourney), this course focuses on programming them.
AI, Design, and Immersive ExperiencesThis capstone immersive course merges Virtual Reality (VR) with Artificial Intelligence. Students will learn to create "Smart Environments"—virtual worlds populated by AI agents that can converse, navigate, and react to the user.
AI-Driven Fashion DesignThis specialized course explores the intersection of high fashion and artificial intelligence. Students will learn to use generative tools to predict trends, design textiles, and visualize garments without the need for physical waste.
