We're entering a 2nd Renaissance. I tried to capture what it feels like in 70 seconds with open source models.

The First Renaissance didn't just produce beautiful art. It changed how humans saw themselves, their place in the cosmos, their relationship to creation itself. I think we're living through something structurally similar right now. The tools are different. The medium is different. But something is shifting in how we create, what we believe is possible, and who gets to make things. I made a short film called "The Second Renaissance" trying to capture that feeling, not through words or data, but through imagery. Marble statues cracking open. Golden networks growing through the fissures.
