Cities usually get their energy from people moving through streets and buildings — not the structures themselves.
But in a new experimental film by the artist collective Aujik, buildings in Osaka, Japan seem to come alive.
The film, called "Spatial Bodies," shows high rises that bend, twist and expand through the skyline like vines. The Japanese city's architecture seems to defy the laws of physics and transform into a living organism, contorting every which way,
Originally spotted by "This is Colossal," the film uses real aerial drone footage of buildings and morphs the images into a surreal, dystopian landscape using Autodesk's 3D software.
The trippy film imagines an alternate world, where man-made, stationary objects take on lives of their own.
