Are the AI-generated humans becoming alive? Dreamt by Another is an allegorical take on creating with artificial intelligence, as well as a meditation on identity, memory, and love. The voiceover narration reads passages from Pinocchio (1883), The Velveteen Rabbit (1922), Frankenstein (1818), and Borges’s The Circular Ruins (1940). The film weaves a common thread through these four works, creating an innovative narrative of intertextuality and self reflexivity, with every element including visuals, voiceover and sound generated by AI. Rooted in Vikki Bardot’s long-standing artistic practice of experimenting with visual textures and dreamlike aesthetics, the film asks: What does it take to become real?
