Look at your own hands
The film delves into dreamscapes, intertwining hypnotic music and mesmerizing animation to suggest artificial intelligence creations as the dreams of machines. It centers around hands, a motif representing self-awareness in dreams. In lucid dreaming, hands appear altered from reality, mirroring early challenges in AI's depiction of human anatomy. Crafted solely with AI tools like Midjourney and Runway, the film’s visuals evolve from generated images. Its soundtrack, however, is an original composition, grounding the project in human creativity. This experimental journey blurs the lines between artificial and human expression, inviting audiences into a surreal exploration of the mind's depths.

Ramon de Fustegueres is a Catalan composer specialized in music for film and video games. He has worked on countless productions of different musical styles, always with a tendency towards experimentation and the search for new expressive languages. Capable of navigating well between seemingly antagonistic styles such as intimate singer-songwriter music, which he unfolds in his personal project called "fustegueres," and at the same time composing orchestral scores for audiovisual productions and adorning them with subtle and evocative electronic textures or simply creating sonic walls of a post-apocalyptic nature with sharp guitars and industrial sounds. He has also written two books: a poetry collection in collaboration with visual artist and graphic designer Marc Serra (el temps es hort 2017) and another on pedagogy and musical learning (la força transformadora de l'aprenentatge musical 2024).
His first animated short film (look at your own hands 2024) represents an exploration of the dream world through a hypnotic soundtrack that moves between jazzy textures and sounds reminiscent of the French impressionist composers of the early 20th century, enveloping an evocative and poetic succession of images generated with artificial intelligence techniques that immerse us in the eternal question of whether machines are capable of dreaming and if humans are simply capable of awakening.
