ManifestiV approached Emmar, after viewing the art installation Negative Leap Seconds, to collaborate on an A.I. music video. Lilith and Paragraph have a heavy environmental message in their work. This piece was to occur after an apocalypse. It depicts life regrowing and rebuilding in similar ways to what we have now, with minor differences. A frog might look like a frog, but with new appendages. At the end of the video there is a man, but he is slightly different in how he was formed. Emmar took some inspiration from the Darren Aronofsky movie, Noah, that depicted animals that don't exist anymore because of the great flood.
The workflow consisted of Lilith, who created a storyboard, looking at Lexica.art for prompts that Emmar modified, and then created Stable Diffusion images. Those images were fed into RunwayML Gen 2, and videos were generated. Emmar cut them together to make the piece.
