The Valley Where LOAB Lives

The Valley Where LOAB Lives is an AI-generated work tracing the eerie emergence and transformation of a digital cryptid across six chapters — each echoing a defining era of horror cinema. From Nosferatu to Psycho, The Shining to Get Out, LOAB drifts through a kaleidoscopic labyrinth of genres, aesthetics, and shifting identities.

LOAB is not a fictional invention but a real internet myth: an AI-generated image born from a so-called negative prompt” — a digital phantom that, against its will, inscribed itself into our collective imagination.

Within this work, LOAB becomes a signal of disruption — both victim and threat, an error within the narrative system itself. Her final transformation unfolds inside the logic of Roko’s Basilisk: to know her is to become part of the algorithm that keeps her alive.

The Valley Where LOAB Lives is a ghost story written in code — hovering between horror cinema, essay film, and digital invocation.
