When VJ Taru N. Hohtonen started losing numerous work opportunities as a low budget music video maker to AI, they felt a strong need to counteract the negative development, and start showcasing the superiority of HUMAN-GENERATED content. This new “human-generated style” challenges AI-generated works, as there is nothing random about it, every picture carries meaning thought out and experienced by a computer endlessly more complex: the human brain.

The material is originally drawn by the artist on a pad, mostly with index finger, and will be mixed together with a collection of loops made of early dadaist film and avantgarde animation art from 1920 to 1950.VJ

Taru N. Hohtonen is the VJ art and music video making alias of Maria Candia. "Tarunhohtoinen" being the Finnish word for "legendary" describes the epic nature of the contents of their sincere DIY-silly work. Using images that cut cross generational experiences of popular culture, they are looking for a great common truth behind archetypes.
