Experiencing Interruptions?

Are We Distinct?

An exploration of how artificial intelligence is transforming the world of art, from creation to curation.

This documentary explores the following questions while looking at filmmaking as it is a culmination of different arts: What role will human creativity play in a society where machines can produce art? Why does art, manmade art, matter? And most importantly, how will we distinguish our art from AI?

Director Statement

Amiko Muscat is a seventeen year old high school filmmaker who lives in San Francisco. Ariana McCants is a seventeen year old high school filmmaker who lives in Alameda. They have both individually shared a passion for filmmaking for many years and were able to meet at California State Summer School for the Arts, where they collaborated on this project over the course of two weeks. This project was an idea that Ariana McCants had in the back of her mind, and didn't quite know how to illustrate it. When she came to CSSSA, she met Amiko Muscat and they worked on expanding Ariana's idea into a six minute film that discusses the important topics of artificial intelligence in an art form that they are both extremely passionate about.
