Dalí-inspired “hot garbage.”
Google recently showed off “a cinematic vision so surreal, so ahead of its time, that it proved impossible to produce.” Giraffes on Horseback Salad was originally conceived by Salvador Dalí for the Marx Brothers, but was too weird (and not funny enough) to be actually made. Using Veo 2 and Imagen 3, an ad agency and a museum were “finally capable of transforming surrealism into film.” (Unlike... Luis Buñuel? David Lynch?)
The result, so far, is just this trailer. It’s an eye-searing, sloppy montage of what this ArtNet breakdown by critic Ben Davis calls “chintzy sub-sub-Surrealist imagery has little to do with Dali’s original vision.”
