The Hypergaussian War

The Hypergaussian War is an AI-generated feature film in which forgotten video game avatars from past eras rise to fight an endless, algorithmic war. Obsolete 8-bit warriors, polygonal relics, and motion-captured ghosts clash across surreal landscapes that merge the logic of digital combat with the haunting depth of 16th-century Flemish painting. Each battle unfolds within hybrid architectures—half cathedral, half code—where pixels and brushstrokes coexist in luminous chaos. The film charts the evolution of game aesthetics, from pixelated minimalism to photorealistic excess, transforming visual history into a battlefield of memory and computation. Both elegy and spectacle, The Hypergaussian War reflects on obsolescence, artificial intelligence, and the endless recursion of images seeking meaning in their own destruction.
