AI Slop is a festival dedicated to artificial intelligence as a creative force — unstable, funny, unsettling, brilliant, chaotic.
AI is no longer a distant technology. It’s a tool, a collaborator, a glitch generator, a mirror of collective culture. It remixes images faster than we can think, distorts anatomy without apology, invents new visual dialects overnight. The aesthetic once dismissed as “slop” has become one of the defining textures of this era.
AI Slop exists inside that shift.
On May 8, Rumiversal Studio becomes a living neural playground — a space for AI-generated films, meme-driven experiments, generative performances, and hybrid works where human instinct and machine randomness collide.
We welcome:
• highly crafted professional AI films
• hybrid productions combining traditional and generative workflows
• absurd, low-effort, chaotic AI experiments made for pure fun
• meme edits that somehow become cinema
• beautiful failures
• intentional visual disasters
AI Slop is about curiosity. About what happens when authorship blurs and creativity becomes a dialogue between prompt and accident.
This moment belongs to those who are experimenting.
