Alice
"So, the thing is that several people were missing an Alice in Wonderland video, so I thought I’d create some characters. I found some freely usable, highly colorful microscope images and built the world and characters from them. Then, I added some old bacterium illustrations from vintage encyclopedias, which is how the mushrooms came into play. Somehow, towards the end, during the animation process, the whole thing started moving in a Tim Burton direction, which I tried to resist, but in some places, I left it in because I felt the movement was strong. It was a long process, but Polo & Pan’s music helped a lot."

Alice leaps off the shelves and ventures into the modern and contemporary world.
She crosses the borders of the book and explores beyond the illustrations—into art, cinema, fashion, animation, games, advertising, comics, toys, graffiti, tattoos, collections, souvenirs, consumerism, clichés, commonplaces, and artificial intelligence, blending her wonder with algorithms and digital dreams. Alice’s books no longer fit into any mold or explanation, but ignite multiple possibilities for creation.
Among different Alicedelias, I seek:
- Enigmatic Alices that destabilize the commonplace and suggest new paths of reading;
- Metalinguistic and disruptive Alices that challenge language and representation standards;
- Conceptual Alices that navigate labyrinths and paradoxes;
- Alices that cross intertextual boundaries, visiting characters from other stories;
- Alices that travel the world, incorporating and dialoguing with different cultures;
- Alices with metamorphic bodies, provoking hybrid identities and erotic dreams;
- Alices shaped by artificial intelligence, blending human imagination with algorithmic creativity and digital consciousness;
- Alices that venture into the world of dreams and wonder, proposing playful experiments;
- Alices that cross portals, wherever they may be, plunging into nightmares and shadows, challenging the boundaries of the mind and the unconscious.
- How does David Szauder's Alice dialogue with this multiverse, between enigmagic prompts and alicedelic dreams, where memory, technology, and wonder collide in a digital kaleidoscope of endless possibilities?
