Lauren Indovina
Speaker #1

Lauren Indovina

DIRECTOR/DESIGNER/SCREENWRITER

Logo Design

We challenged the prolific creator and intrepid intellect,  Lauren Indovina, who recently partnered with Partizan and director Pete Candeland on an animation series, to kick off the Amuse Bouche series.  Lauren set her own terms to engage in a creative process that she was eager to tackle. 

 

Lauren set out on a 5 day experiment using AI and Unreal to create a film noir surreal narrative.  By imposing certain constraints of time and her own capacity to create all assets, she desired to learn new tools and bend them to her voice.  In the short space of a few days, Lauren yielded dynamic creative development and a rich body of material.  In the spirit of education, inspiration, and being unafraid to fail, she is preparing these materials for a  show & tell.  The originating brief and aspiration has morphed into a more extended deep dive exploring the utility of AI as an artist tool blending hand drawn assets and intellectual prompts with more desired intention.  The process and products illuminate compelling value in the developing technology and also reiterates the importance and irreplaceable value of an Artist’s vision, voice, and intent at the helm.  

 

Lauren’s show and tell will kick off our internally facing experiment.  

 

We invite you to join us on this journey...
