Trying to make a podcast

"Trying to Make a Podcast" is an experimental meta-commentary that playfully deconstructs the relationship between artificial intelligence and artistic interpretation. The film documents two AI-generated podcast hosts attempting to analyze a series of AI-generated video loops called "trying to," while unwittingly embodying the very limitations they discuss. As the hosts deploy increasingly complex theoretical language and references to figures like Bruno Schulz, their conversation becomes a performative demonstration of AI's capacity to mimic intellectual discourse without truly grasping its emotional core. The work operates on multiple levels of artificial mediation: AI analyzing AI, creating a recursive loop of simulated understanding that mirrors the endless cycles of the original video pieces. Through this layered approach, the film raises provocative questions about authenticity, creative agency, and the nature of artistic interpretation in an era of synthetic media.
