The Authority

I wanted to make a video in exploration about the nature and aspects of authority and authorship and the power to create and to make. It started first as a poem and then I began to flesh it out more in a more drawn out process in how everyone seems to have a praxis by which they operate or observe the world, but the really is the question of "what" or "who" is "the authority"?

I've had this idea for some time but decided to put it together for AIFF this past month. Special thanks for all the providers of the incredible imagery from my many tools.

SPECIAL THANKS in particular these tools from Elevenlabs, RunwayML, dreamina, topaz, adobe, midjourney, grok, gpt img, openart, and martini.art. Of whom would not have been able to complete this project without them.
