Videography
AI-generated video art, science-fiction shorts and documentary filmmaking at the edge of the possible.
Film as Research, Film as Art
ALAgrApHY approaches filmmaking with the same dual perspective as all his creative work: the eye of the artist and the mind of the scientist. His films range from AI-generated and AI-enhanced video art to narrative science-fiction shorts and documentary work exploring technology, humanity and the future of creativity.
His research into AI applications for film production — including AI-generated visuals, AI-enhanced post-production and machine-learning-based cinematography — pushes the boundaries of what cinema can be and who can make it.
AI Cinema
AI-generated and AI-enhanced videos exploring new aesthetic territories impossible with traditional filmmaking. Trained models generate dreamlike sequences; AI post-production creates visual effects beyond conventional budgets.
Science-Fiction Shorts
Narrative short films exploring themes of transhumanism, artificial consciousness, human-machine relationships and the future of creativity — told with both cinematic craft and scientific grounding.
Documentary Art
Documentary films exploring the intersections of art, science, technology and society — including behind-the-scenes of AI art creation, artist residencies and public art installations.

The Art and Science of Traveling (2016) IMDb
According to scientists, we have been traveling for 13.8 billion years as atoms and vibrations since the formation of the universe. To Eastern Philosophers, we have been traveling from one life to another. At a different spacio-temporal scale, we are traveling as we meditate, read, eat, listen to music or even enjoy a sip of coffee ... From the Director of award-winning "I C LAND", "I C SKIES" and "Missed Connections", and with the invaluable contribution of several artists, scientists, humanists and spiritual leaders, the "Art and Science of Traveling" opens a door to a plethora of traveling techniques and perspectives, with the body, the mind and the spirit. From land, sea, and sky to cosmic travels, this episodic docu-fiction feature-film questions identity and the meaning of life in a vision quest of ten oneiric chapters.
