Abel Art
An early AI short film from Abel Art, crafted in the first months after consumer AI video tools became available. A haunting, atmospheric piece that demonstrated the emotional range possible even with the limited tools of mid-2023. Abel Art would go on to become a key contributor to community projects like the T2 Remake.
A comedic AI short from Abel Art that leans into the absurdist potential of early generative video. Made weeks after THE OLD LADY, it shows a creator already experimenting with tone and genre — moving from atmospheric drama to irreverent humor. A reminder that the early AI film community wasn't all serious experimentation; some of the best work was just fun.
2024
A visually rich AI short from Abel Art that follows a traveler through dreamlike landscapes. By mid-2024, the tools had matured enough to match Abel Art's ambition — the result is a piece with real cinematic scope, atmospheric depth, and a visual confidence that reflects over a year of working with generative video.
2026
A near-future short about a tattoo artist named Picasso, scraping by in a city that no longer has work for people like him — art, poetry, and music have been "fully automated for optimal productivity." When an emigration office offers him a one-way ticket to Mars on a special shuttle reserved for painters, poets, and musicians, he trades the ticket to settle a debt and stay. The other man takes it; the film ends at the Mars Embarcation Station with "Batch 472 processed." A film about artists being made obsolete by automation, made with AI — the irony is the point.
