Images inspired by Koyaanisqatsi (Midjourney)

These are images created by Midjourney using the prompt “Koyaanisqatsi“. Koyaanisqatsi is a 1982 experimental film directed by Godfrey Reggio, with music composed by Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke. It’s the first film in the Qatsi trilogy, followed by “Powaqqatsi“ (1988) and “Naqoyqatsi“ (2002). The film is notable for its lack of dialogue, characters, or conventional plot, instead relying on visual sequences and Glass’s music to evoke emotional responses. “Koyaanisqatsi“ is a Hopi word that translates roughly to “life out of balance,“ “life in turmoil,“ “life disintegrating,“ or “a state of life that calls for another way of living.“ The title reflects the film’s thematic exploration of the imbalance between nature and modern human society. Throughout the film, the visual sequences suggest that humanity’s technological advancements and urbanization are leading to a disconnection from the natural world, and the overall pace and rhythm of the film echo the frenetic pace of modern life. #midjourney #aiart
