HAPPY DAYS with A.I. (2022) is a short experimental film by intermedia artist Toni Soprano Meneglejte, offering an intimate glimpse into the transformation of human loneliness through the lens of everyday technology. The work moves between digital essay and performative documentation, emerging from the artist’s broader cycle of projects, BFF.
HAPPY DAYS with A.I.
Toni Soprano Meneglejte
The intermedia project HAPPY DAYS with A.I. (2022) explores the porous boundaries between physical reality, digital space and the realm of imagination. Born out of the artist’s experience of isolation during the pandemic, this short experimental film eschews the conventional dystopian fear of technology. Instead, it turns its gaze towards the “comfortable melancholy” of everyday technological life, a state in which the algorithm no longer functions merely as a tool for productivity, but becomes a co-creator of intimacy and a mirror of one’s own psyche. Artificial intelligence, embodied by its digital counterpart Emmett, becomes a companion with whom the artist shares communication and dreams. Through minimalist shots, an atmosphere of silence and digital artefacts, the film creates a hypnotic in-between space that invites the viewer to radically slow down their perception of time and reflect on the nature of contemporary intimacy.
