The Dove and the Drone is a fully AI-generated short film visually and audibly created for the 40th anniversary campaign of PAGE – Germany's leading magazine for the creative industry.

 

Under the theme “… is not dead!”, the campaign invites the creative community to take a stand through their own visual statements and formats—especially in times of profound technological disruption. My contribution to this dialogue is simple: “Hope is not dead!”—a clear appeal not to surrender emerging technologies to the destructive, but to harness generative tools consciously for the good, empathy, and peace.

 

Artificial intelligence may fundamentally change our world, but it does not extinguish humanity. Crafted in a tactile claymation style, the visible fingerprints throughout the film serve as an intentional reminder that technology has no will of its own: War, peace, and the future are ultimately shaped by human hands.
