Several AI animations were created via Deforum Stable Diffusion with prompts describing why I need to declutter my email inbox, especially the need to delete emails from subscriptions I forgot to unsubscribe from to stop email overload. Five different AI animations were selected for this video, with two of them being layered at a time with different blending modes via Premiere Pro to create the chaotic motion of the numerous emails entering the trash or the void they’re being sent to.

This video was originally shown with sampled sounds at a sitting corner setup at 4MOST Gallery for DAMN’s exhibtion, “2G00DH0TD@MN.V4.” All the featured works considered the interpretation of the “@“ symbol.

The drums were digitally produced by Goswami via Soundtrap several months after the show to sustain the notion of an audiovisual experience.
