Description of Artwork
The Artwork was created using Archival Images of historic glass objects provided by the Corning Museum of Glass Image database in contractual allowance by the Corning Museum of Glass for the Images to be used for this project. All Images sourced for this Video are of glass objects older than 75 years and in the creative commons. The sourced Images were creatively altered into new compositions and forms, followed by an interpretation of prompts using AI tools into short video clips from which the scenes were constructed.
The resulting clips were stitched together in a video editing software to generate the video artwork. All content was created solely by the artist Anna Mlasowsky in accordance with copyright laws and creative commons Image rights. All content is original and specifically created for this project.
