Final work Pseudosynthesis Pseudosynthesis is a 3D fashion film exploring the boundary between human and AI-generated performance. Through abstract visuals, it contrasts organic movement (raw emotion, imperfection) with synthetic replication (precision, artifice). The film culminates in a split-screen composition—human dancers left, AI avatars right—posing a question: Can technology ever truly embody feeling, or does it merely simulate what it cannot experience?

Through interviews with dancers and motion-capture experiments, it identifies three stages of human emotion (raw, mechanical, controlled) and...
