Is Life Just FATE?

Video & Animation
When algorithms meet consciousness, are our choices pre - coded? This video uses digital imagery as a philosophical mirror and AIGC technology to reconstruct the paradox of free will. AI - generated images flow like liquid metal, showing both the predetermined patterns in genetic codes and the glimmers of consciousness struggling in the web of causality. We let algorithms depict "programmed freedom": how can self - correction arcs emerge from bounded trajectories? Even if codes become new creators, human rationality can still inscribe meaning on causal chains. Film art becomes the touchstone of existentialism. Light and shadow in cinemas correspond to fate's randomness, while algorithms' precision reflects societal determinism. Using light and shadow, we weave a paradox - AI teaches us to dance in fate's shadows and shape our existence with self - awareness. The video is a philosophical and AIGC creation mirror, questioning human choices and creation freedom in the digital age.
