Create Collaborate Care: The Story of K Allado-McDowell is a short educational documentary produced by Nadia Quito that explores the artistic approach of K Allado-McDowell, who uses AI to create immersive artistic experiences.
This film captivated me, which is rare for an educational documentary. Whether it was Quito’s production style or McDowell’s artistic prowess, as the film unfolded, I found myself increasingly eager to experience McDowell’s work firsthand. Quito effectively conveys McDowell’s vision—that science, technology, and art should not be separate realms, but rather interwoven. Through stunning imagery and compelling testimonials, the documentary emphasizes how AI can (and should) be used to create personalized, unique artistic experiences.
My one critique is that while Quito successfully captures the essence of McDowell’s work, I would have loved to learn more about his background—what initially inspired him to bring AI into the arts? Additionally, more examples of his early work and how it has evolved over time would have further deepened the viewer’s understanding of his artistic journey.
Rating: 4/5 stars
