Rather than using emerging technologies to overwrite, Protopica employs them to listen: to languages, to stories, and to the knowledge carried in blood and water.
The experience is a cultural vessel for safeguarding endangered narratives, particularly those rooted in diasporic, Indigenous, and underrepresented cultures.

🦋 Protopica is an exploration of cultural memory, speculative futures, and ancestral technologies. It began as a short film with OpenAI’s Sora and has grown into a platform blending generative AI, brain-computer interfaces, and immersive design to preserve heritage and community stories.
🤝🏽 A cultural vessel for safeguarding endangered narratives, Protopica asks: How might our identities shift if we remembered differently?
⏳ Sin Agua No Hay Tiempo creates an immersive chamber shaped by Caribbean cosmology, where the ocean emerges as both archive and oracle. Petroglyphs ripple across walls as ancestral memory dissolves into speculative futures.

Honoured to have worked with the research and dev team at alpha testing their latest image model, Image Gen. For context, this image model is incredibly versatile and built inside ChatGPT and Sora, so it’s super user friendly and can be prompted using text. In these examples, I remixed the original artwork (last photo) made almost 3 years ago using Sora’s “remix” feature (watch tutorial in my last reel).
Prompt 1: Create a hyperrealistic render of my sketch Preserve as much detail as possible (attached original artwork on last slide).
Prompt 2: Project these reaction diffusion patterns throughout the painting (attached image with patterns)
Prompt 3: Remix to feel more like a Basquiat drawing
Prompt 4: Remix to looks like a claymation graphic
Prompt 5: Adapt to this style (attached reference image)
Prompt 6: Add more details from the original artwork (attached original artwork again)
Prompt 7: Remix to look like a PS1 3D render
Prompt 8: create a comic from this piece (attached image on first slide)
Prompt 9: Turn this into a meme (the model came up with the text and added it

We’re continuing to slowly expand Sora testing to more creatives (digital VFX pioneers, architects, choreographers, engineering artists, and creative entrepreneurs) to help us understand the model’s capabilities and limitations, shaping the next phase of research to create increasingly safe AI systems over time. While access is still extremely limited while safety testing is underway, we wanted to celebrate these artists’ work with their reflections on how they use Sora in their process. (The underlying visuals were generated solely with Sora without any VFX, but artists added sound and edited using traditional filmmaking software.)
Manuel Sainsily is a multidisciplinary artist and TED speaker. Will Selviz is an immersive director, creative entrepreneur and founder at RENDRD, specializing in emerging tech adoption and computer graphics. Together they created the short film Protopica, which poses the question: ‘What if our lives are the result of intricate choices crafted long before our current existence?’” Sainsily and Selviz shared, “Our collaboration with Sora enabled rapid prototyping and non-linear iterations to develop a visual aesthetic early in the process.”
