MITLA | Underworld

Mitla | Underworld is a 3-minute, 20-second art film inspired by my visit to Teotihuacan and the tunnel beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. This short film expresses my feelings while walking through the 2000-year-old space, visited only by a few. I was inspired to consider the possible discoveries and ideas to explore in this as-of-yet unexplored archeological site.
Though the tunnel beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent has been fully explored and documented, there is a discovery of caves in Mitla near Oaxaca, Mexico. These places are near some of the oldest continually occupied sites in America. Hence the name MITLA | Underworld.
The short film is created utilizing Generative AI Toolsets and composited with real-time toolsets.

This short film is the first in a series of shorts I plan made with Generative AI and Derivative Touchdesigner. These new techniques provide a feeling of liberation through the ease of visualization and realization. Through imagination alone, a new creative palette is available where an artist can realize new visions through careful thought and consideration.
