G0 K4RT AI

G0 K4RT AI explores the speculative design of vintage-style go-karts and their surrounding environments by fusing industrial decay with the surreal beauty of stained glass. Drawing inspiration from rusted oil refinery equipment and corroded piping systems, each go-kart becomes a relic of a retro-futuristic world where stained glass is not just decorative but structural. The work moves between micro and mega scales, zooming into oxidized textures, then expanding outward to cathedral-like visual languages in the landscape.

Design Aesthetic:

Micro Elements: Rusted industrial equipment, aged metal, and worn mechanical components.

Mega Elements: Monumental stained glass structures: windows, canopies, and surreal architectural details.

Visual Style: Vintage, cinematic, textural.

Creative Workflow & Tools:

Midjourney + ChatGPT Prompts:
Use AI-generated narrative prompts from ChatGPT as direct inputs for Midjourney to initiate visual experimentation. These serve as conceptual springboards for kart design and scene development.

/blend in Midjourney:
Combine multiple photographic references to merge mechanical and stained glass motifs into single, cohesive images that inform go-kart design language.

Runway.ai (Video & Gen-3 Alpha):
Import selected Midjourney images into Runway’s image-to-video pipeline to develop short cinematic sequences. These moving visuals suggest a world in motion, filled with decaying machinery and glowing glass.

Meshy.ai:
Translate Midjourney concepts into 3D form using Meshy’s generative mesh tool. This enables spatial exploration of karts and environments as objects with volume, weight, and wear.

Loudly.ai:
Craft custom AI-generated soundtracks to layer over animated sequences. Audio enhances tone: mechanical, nostalgic, and otherworldly.
