AI Video entry: Brittle

Here is a low-rez version of the video I made for the Claire Silver AI Art contest. This is for contest 9 of 10. I think I've created art for about three other of her contests; it's been on my radar since 2022.

This one took a little over two weeks of evenings and weekends from concept to completion.

Here is the text I used for the Linked In post (allows more text than X).

The piece is called "Brittle." It's a spoken word performance about what happens when your mind narrows under pressure, and what changes when you start problem-solving with AI instead of around it.

I used to avoid things I couldn't immediately master. A 3-D model sat untouched for a year because I didn't know Blender well enough. Last month, I asked an AI to help. It took forty minutes.

The video itself is AI-collaborative: ElevenLabs for voice, Sora for video clips, Pika and Krea for animation, Midjourney for stills, Premiere Pro and Topaz for editing and enhancement. Claude Code and Blender MCP for avatar optimization and script ideas.

But the point isn't the tools. It's the shift.

For those of us in technical communication, AI isn't replacing our work — it's removing the blocks that kept us from attempting it.

Something symbiont. Something we.
