AI
Joseph Indovina and selects from his life’s work, 1965-2020.
For as long as I can remember, my father and I shared a vision of the future—one where technology expanded imagination. He was a futurist, an artist, and an architect who lived at the intersection of science fiction and structure, imagination and form. His portfolio spanned everything from sculptural buildings to intricate drawings of impossible machines (to me!) —always asking: what’s next?
He passed away in May 2022—the same month that the first generative image models began to go public.
Since then, continuing that vision has felt like more than a pursuit—it’s become a calling. A way to honor his legacy and evolve myself.
I’ve immersed myself in every generative and creative AI tool I could find, and in 2023, I founded House of Indovina to give that journey a name. As of April 2025, I’ve started documenting it publicly on YouTube (@houseofindovina)—sharing the process, not the polish.
This page is not a portfolio, but it is a field journal, filled with fragments and experiments—each one pushing a little further into what’s possible.
Select experiments, 2021–2025.
The Transmissions Series
The Transmissions Series is an ongoing collection of short-form, high-impact visual narratives designed to explore the shifting edges of identity, technology, and creative existence.
Each clip is a micro-dose of myth—a signal sent from the collapsing boundaries of self and system.
The Transmissions are not just content. They are codes.
Each one delivers a question, a warning, or a pulse of clarity.
Wan 2.1 Animation Series
The Wan 2.1 Series is a continuing collection of short-form narrative experiments, each crafted to probe how nuanced model adjustments and compute variations can dramatically alter the emotional and visual output of minimalist black-and-white, illustration-style films. Focused on restraint, contrast, and the emotional resonance of limitation, this series serves as both a technical study and an aesthetic meditation on how style emerges from subtle shifts in process.
Unserious Series
The Unserious Series is an ongoing collection of short-form narrative experiments and monologue-driven portraits. Each piece isolates a single character or concept, using them as a lens to explore storytelling in the age of evolving creative tools. The series blends traditional 3D and animation techniques—lighting, rigging, performance capture—with emerging AI technologies to create emotionally resonant vignettes that feel both handmade and machine-touched. Unserious is, ironically, a serious exploration of what happens when old workflows collide with new possibilities, all within a compact, cinematic frame.
HOUSE OF INDOVINA, Journey Reel 2023
At the beginning of time… just kidding. In 2023, Runway released one of their most impressive video models. At the time, I was in the early stages of pregnancy, low on bandwidth, but in need of a creative tool to release all the fears and anxieties.
To keep my creative flow alive, I built this short reel—an experiment in generative AI video using some of my own AI images, plus a few relics from before this new renaissance began.
This piece lives here as an archive—a snapshot of how quickly this world is evolving.
