Bio_Extasis (2024) is an experimental animation by artist Omar Batista. Batista utilizes OpenCv, Stable Diffusion, Blender 3D, Python and C++ to create a “visual poetry” of various states of motion. The piece features three interconnected vignettes that take the user on a unique journey, pushing our curiosity from questions of “how is it made” to “how does it/do it move?”
