# Benjamin Bardou — Studies of Artificial Landscapes

> Experimental AI and volumetric video artwork exploring latent-space landscapes

Studies of Artificial Landscapes is an experimental short film and research project by French visual artist Benjamin Bardou. It combines AI generation and volumetric video to treat latent space like an outdoor painting subject, capturing fluctuating painterly vistas akin to plein-air landscape sketching. The project page hosts documentation, stills, exhibition records, and raw video downloads.
