Space, terror, and the horizon collide in this immersive generative video installation. Here, the iconic crop-duster sequence from Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest (1959) serves as a canvas for algorithmic reincarnation. Through the deployment of artificial intelligence, Cary Grant’s desperate flight across an empty cornfield is filtered through the psyches of Francisco Goya, Salvador Dalí, and Pablo Picasso. The mechanical threat of the biplane morphs seamlessly—shifting from a dark, Goyaesque omen of wartime horror, to a fluid, Dalínian dreamscape of existential dread, and ultimately into a jagged, Cubist dissection of speed and form. The piece bridges the analog cinema of the 20th century with the digital frontiers of the 21st, examining the timeless ways humanity visualizes the anatomy of panic.
