Melting Fire Iceman

The projector extends itself beyond a mechanical device: it transforms into a living entity, reanimating the collective memories of its audience. Through Kwon’s live manipulation of flickers and intervals, the cinematic apparatus gains autonomy, continuously looping and coming alive. Using a reverse diffusion model, Melting Fire Iceman employs AI to portray the fluid, shifting nature of cinema’s core memories. Early films, drawn from online repositories and the Korean Film Archive, are dissolved and reimagined by AI, seemingly in an infinite cycle of rebirth. In this mesmerising process, the boundaries between memory, spectatorship and the cinematic experience are redefined.
