Synthesize Another Strain

She’s better in every way because that’s how she was coded. She mirrors the perfection you seek but constantly chase in life. And as time goes on, she’ll only increase in power. So when your AI counterpart becomes stronger, faster, and better than you, can you outsmart it and destroy it- before it destroys you? “Synthesize Another Strain”, 2025, spatially collaged digital animation by Rebecca Rose. 1/1 in three aspect ratios: 16:9 dimensions: 1920 x 1080, 1:1 dimensions 1080 x 1080, and 9:16 dimensions 1080 x 1920, 160mb, duration: 1:25. Includes different aspect ratios to accommodate digital displays, made possible through Transient Labs using the TL7160 contract. The original soundtrack was composed with AI assistance with sound mixing by the artist. This piece is the seventh chapter in “Tragic Kingdom” -animated stories from a fictional theme park’s underbelly, and part of the ongoing series “DeepCuts” -3D collages with depth inspired by songs. This piece was created exclusively for SuperRare’s exhibition ‘Post-Portrait’ in September 2025.
