Addy Feuerstein
My name is Addy Feuerstein. I'm a tech entrepreneur, designer, and an AI artist.
After founding three tech startups, I founded UrbanOrigami.art - my creative studio, a place to focus purely on visual expression.
I am fascinated by the AI revolution and in a way, I feel like I have been waiting for it my whole life. As a visual artist, it allows me to 'paint with my brain' and create visuals that were not possible before.
At the same time, this new medium flattens, indexes, and itemizes everything. Every thought, every idea, every painting, and every song can be reduced to an AI token.
This is why I love blending old and new, mixing nostalgic visual styles with AI tools to create what I call Retro-Futuristic Design, mainly through music video clips, using mostly my favorite styles of origami, miniatures, automatons, and dioramas. It feels both ironic and intriguing for me to use AI to reimagine the past, because I always believed that understanding and exploring the past is the best way to predict the future.
We are standing on the edge of a complete revolution. Not only in the tools of visual art, but in the birth of an entirely new language of expression. These are strange and extraordinary times to live in.

SONG: Here Comes the Flood FROM Peter Gabriel 1
Video info
I always loved this song. When I did some research on it, I read that: “Gabriel envisioned a scenario where the psychic barriers that safeguard one's thoughts would erode and thus manifest in a collective consciousness… he said that the lyrics pertained to the concept of a mental flood where the collective thoughts of other individuals would be made publicly available and accessible through telepathy. He posited that extroverted people would tolerate the situation but believed that those who wished to conceal their thoughts would be unable to adapt.” *
When I read this, I suddenly realized that Peter Gabriel had, in fact, predicted the internet back in 1977!
I mean, this is exactly what we live in now: a collective consciousness network, carried through our smartphones and computers. The psychic barriers that once safeguarded our thoughts are literally melting, and the collective thoughts of individuals are becoming public. We are constantly surrounded by a flood of information, and today’s AI developments are precisely the flood Gabriel envisioned. Only the extroverted can adapt, while those who wish to conceal themselves struggle to survive.
So, I set out to visualize this idea. I start with the concept of a “flood” of information, unfolding the video as an allegory for the digital age. At first, isolated people tune into radio signals that connect into a glowing network, symbolizing the birth of the internet. Soon, the promise of connection spirals into overload: streets flooded with glowing screens, exposed homes, and submerged televisions revealing our private lives on display. The tone shifts to cold analysis as human emotions and relationships are harvested, labeled, and quantified as data. Finally, it culminates in a vast museum of the human mind, where every memory and feeling has been indexed and archived by AI. Yet, like a new Noah’s Ark, humanity begins to build again from the wreckage, building new bridges among them, closing with Gabriel’s haunting reminder: “Wake up, dreamers, you’re running dry.”
