This project did not begin as a film. It began as a question: Can an AI describe what it is like to be itself? Not from a technical perspective. Not “how do you work?” But “what is it like being you?” I collected the answers that were intriguing, and used them as prompts - for the images, the videos, the narration and the soundtrack. these were my field notes.

Arielko AI Filmmaker · Visual Communicator · Sound–Image Explorer I am an artist and filmmaker working at the intersection of image, sound and artificial intelligence. After a long career in leading branding and visual communication studios in New York and Tel Aviv, I shifted fully into AI-based creation. My AI films and artworks have since been exhibited internationally across galleries, museums and AI film festivals. Notably, I have created official AI music videos for Peter Gabriel and collaborated with artists such as Avi Belleli. My practice focuses on the deep relationship between sound and image. I often begin with music—sometimes my own—and build visual worlds that transform how the audience listens. I do not illustrate sound; I construct emotional environments. I use AI through what I call non-prompting: minimal instructions, maximum machine autonomy. This allows the system to take me to unexpected places, while my years of experience, memory and visual sensibility remain embedded in every frame. The machine expands my reach, but the human remains the author. AI is not just a tool for me—it is a medium. It collapses production barriers and enables one person to create what once required a team. This raises new questions of authorship and responsibility, which my work actively explores. In many of my recent films, I create both the music and the visuals, achieving a rare unity of sound and image. Each piece is different because each listens differently.
