Flowers Blooming Backward Into Noise is a 20-minute animated “documanifesto” about AI art. It explains how Diffusion models work, as well as their entanglement with composite photography, statistical correlations and eugenics. In the end, the film veers into the director's own work, and how he sees his work: as bending the tool to create images that may not be beautiful, but are a product of rejecting automated characterizations of images, bodies, and human beings.
