a normal documentary where we craft each scene and, you know, time it out. we're creating kind of a structure in software that will create our film. you can think of it like this. up here, we have a pool of pre—cut scenes, hundreds of hours of never—before—seen archival footage and exclusive interviews with eno. down here, we have an empty structure looking for pieces to fill up the slots. some parts of the film are always the same. pieces here are pinned in place, but for the rest, the software makes selections, slots them into place based on instructions from the film—makers, and edits together a new film that it will never generate again. it can make approximately 52 quintillion versions of the film, which is 52 with 19 zeroes after it. brendan dawes is a generative artist himself and the developer of the film's bespoke generative software. the way to think of it is kind of like a collaborator. i give it some direction,
