ALTER.LAB
ALTER.LAB is a borderless generative art laboratory that brings together a diverse team of scientists, visual artists, musicians, and programmers from Mexico, Canada, and France. Renowned for exploring the intersection of creativity and technology, the laboratory brings complex narratives to life through a unique vision where manual art and code converge.
The laboratory's work is a dynamic dialogue between technique and idea. Its diverse output ranges from creating entire animated worlds and intricate soundscapes to developing sophisticated applications and interactive web environments. The laboratory has also ventured into videomapping and the application of generative tools for marketing. Believing in collaboration as a creative engine, ALTER.LAB shares tools and workflows that make new forms of artistic expression possible.
ALTER.LAB is committed to creating memorable and meaningful pieces. Its collaborative approach allows for great diversity in both the types of projects it can address and the outcomes it generates.

Video info
The core idea of the video is the power of community. We sought to represent the spiritual experience of San Jacinto—the internal growth of a young person witnessing the disappearance of their community and territory—and, at the same time, the song's other great message: the importance of standing firm against the adversities of modern society.
We hope that the video not only captures this message but also reflects that its very creation is the result of a community process. We collectively shared ideas, tools, and workflows to create and assemble every single element. To achieve this, the use of generative tools was complemented by traditional animation and editing techniques.
We are honored to be part of the 5050 initiative, to build upon the important legacy of Peter Gabriel, and to join this community of incredible visual artists
