Plagialphabet: 30 frames of stolen time
Description
Plagialphabet: 30 Frames of Stolen Time—a visual rebellion against the speed and ease of AI image generation. My goal was to replicate the AI process entirely by hand. Each artwork was painstakingly crafted from meticulously curated public domain images, which I traced, recomposed, and transformed into 30 unique typographic characters. The result is an 8-second, frame-by-frame animation that embodies the philosophy of manual effort.
While AI debates rage on, this isn't just about plagiarism - it's about embracing the slow craft in a world obsessed with instant results. Time spent crafting. Time invested in creative decisions. Time that shapes not just the final result, but ourselves.
Creativity is made, not generated.
