The challengeCreate a music video that could translate the themes of Universo into a visual narrative balancing science fiction with emotional reflection. The project required combining real locations dedicated to space exploration with AI-generated imagery, creating a believable vision of humanity observing its own world from afar.
The idea2RIOT imagined the members of Subsonica as explorers who have reached Mars. From the surface of the planet, they recover fragments of Earth's present through old television sets, observing humanity from a distant future. The journey becomes a reflection on memory, technology and the fragile relationship between human beings and their home planet.
The experienceDirected and produced by 2RIOT, the film was shot inside ALTEC in Turin—the Italian aerospace centre supporting planetary exploration missions, including Mars operations. Live-action footage was combined with AI-generated transformations, allowing alien vegetation, corals and organic forms to emerge directly from the performers' faces, creating a seamless dialogue between documentary realism and speculative imagery.
OutcomeReleased as the official music video for Universo, the project combines cinematic storytelling with emerging visual technologies to create a contemporary science-fiction narrative. The collaboration demonstrates 2RIOT's approach to hybrid filmmaking, where real environments, symbolic storytelling and AI-generated imagery work together to expand the emotional language of the music.
