LOAB is a creature of generative AI. The product of an anti-prompt, it haunts – as both a glitch and a ghost – the worlds of human-machine-made horror. In The Valley Where LOAB Lives, Georg Tiller takes his film craft by the horns and creates a whole new brand of storytelling: the Promptus. The Promptus openly reveals its origins and the problems inherent within it: “Working with generative models means working within systems that are designed to obscure their own origins.” In this film, he has found an ingenious solution to this problem, linking LOAB’s generated probabilities with the monstrous improbabilities of the film genre. Observing with a winking eye.
