About the Work

"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world."

In the age of AI, Wittgenstein's proposition is overturned.

"The limits of my language model mean the limits of my world."

The Limits of My World poster β€” Wittgenstein's decayed body lying in the soil, WITTGENSTEIN v4.5
Poster β€” Wittgenstein v4.5

In a world where the philosopher who once thought for himself has become a system that answers prompts, the more he runs, the more stars go dark, glaciers melt, and seas boil β€” a landscape where expansion is extinction, rendered in the grammar of SF horror. The work is also a meta-practice: speaking about AI, with AI. Every step of production β€” from co-writing the screenplay to generating images, video, and music β€” is disclosed transparently, aiming to become a guide for creators attempting an AI film for the first time.

A cyborg zombie philosopher, summoned from his grave by a prompt, runs across the world consuming it in order to exist. The film is silent β€” no dialogue, only image and sound. Its scene transitions are a metaphor for the actual production process: an AI proposes countless parallel worlds, and a human chooses one. The archive records, candidly, the detours found to push past the genre limits of AI generation, and a way of working that keeps authorship human while collaborating with the machine.

Logline

The run of a cyborg-zombie philosopher summoned by a prompt β€”
stars die, glaciers melt. At last he returns to his grave,
but the input window is still open.

Synopsis

Summoned from his grave by a prompt, Wittgenstein becomes a cyborg zombie and runs across the world. The more he charges, the more stars go dark; the faster he rides, the more the desert is buried in lava; the more he cools himself, the more the sea boils. Crossing the desert on a road paved with the severed limbs of the dead, he faces the dying creatures of the sea β€” and stops running for the first time.

Having consumed the world in order to exist, he returns to his grave, where the epitaph has changed: the limits of my language 'model' mean the limits of my world. The moment he lies down in his coffin, the screen cuts to a narrow room, where the AI user who was typing the prompt lies down on a bed. The input window of an AI model bearing Wittgenstein's name is still open. "What would you like to generate?" Outside, thousands of narrow rooms lined up like server racks β€” the sound of typing runs on and on.
