Genetic Error Fake World
Above The Void proudly presents "FAKE WORLD" by Genetic Error.
This official music video was crafted with AI by Luc Leclerc, using original artwork by Martin Giraldeau.
THE BAND
Genetic Error is a classic crossover band hailing from Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. Formed in 1987, the band initially performed under the name Insanity, covering songs by influential acts such as Celtic Frost, Destruction, Crumbsuckers, S.O.D., and Slayer. They later adopted the name Genetic Error and became known for their politically charged and socially conscious lyrics.
After releasing two demo tapes in 1988 and 1989, Genetic Error gained local attention and had the opportunity to open for prominent bands like Voivod and Faith No More. Their first full-length CD was released in 1995. The band experienced periods of inactivity but officially reformed in 2015 to perform at the 14th annual Trois-Rivières Metalfest and has since continued to play local shows.
Their latest album, Fake World, released on December 7, 2024, marks a powerful return for the Trois-Rivières thrash veterans after nearly three decades since their last full-length release. The production, handled by Francis Perron, captures the band's intense energy, complemented by Martin Giraldeau's striking cover art.
THE VIDEO
Directed by longtime fan Luc Leclerc, the video for Genetic Error's latest album introduces audiences to the band's mascot, created by Martin Giraldeau. Leclerc, who previously covered Genetic Error’s track "In Search Of Power" with his musical project Gloom Influx, embraced the chance to collaborate on this visually compelling project, utilizing OpenAI's cutting-edge image generation technology to transform Giraldeau’s iconic artwork into grotesque, photorealistic visuals.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
"FAKE WORLD" serves as a biting, satirical exploration of contemporary societal illusions, juxtaposing grotesque imagery and absurdist humor to critique mass consumerism, artificial beauty standards, and rampant environmental disregard. Structured around a classic narrative—an individual's rise and fall—the work exposes the fragility and superficiality of fame and societal acceptance.
TECHNICAL INSIGHTS
"FAKE WORLD" exemplifies innovative AI-driven artistic practices, utilizing generative AI technology to augment traditional art, and elevate the music video format into complex visual critiques. The technical synergy between AI-generated visuals and Giraldeau's distinctive artistry underscores the evolving capacity of AI as a genuine creative partner, pushing boundaries of digital storytelling and visual expression.
ARTISTIC CONTEXT
Situated firmly at the intersection of social critique and cutting-edge digital art, "FAKE WORLD" offers a compelling reflection on modern life's artificiality. It invites viewers to reconsider societal norms, challenging passive consumption and the uncritical acceptance of manufactured ideals. As artists increasingly embrace AI technologies, works like "FAKE WORLD" illuminate fresh possibilities for meaningful artistic discourse.
