Laen Sanches, a French art director and motion designer based in Amsterdam, recruits the Midjourney AI platform to create an undersea dystopia designed to submerge the viewer in the disturbing reality of ocean plastic pollution.

Laen Sanches: “Through a series of graphically confronting AI-generated and hand-composited images of ocean creatures, this experimental animated film confronts you with the devastating consequences of our habits on marine life, and leaves you gasping for breath.”
