DECOHERENCE / THE BLACK BOX

Decoherence – An AI-Generated Sci-Fi Series

Where reality unravels and the absurd becomes inevitable.

Series Overview

Decoherence is a haunting anthology of AI-generated short films inspired by the golden era of vintage sci-fi radio dramas from the 1960s and 1970s. These sonic and visual hallucinations revive the nostalgic aesthetic of analog futurism while pushing it through the lens of modern AI storytelling.

Crafted with cutting-edge generative tools, each episode plunges into the uncanny, exploring dystopian realities where the surreal infiltrates the banal. From dusty living rooms to flickering neon alleyways, the familiar becomes warped, entangled in a universe governed not by logic, but by quantum decoherence—a realm where multiple realities overlap and collapse into chaos.

Themes include:

The fragile nature of memory and identity

Life after technological singularity

The absurdity of order in a disordered world

The emotional impact of AI, perception, and mortality

Each short film is a standalone tale connected by an invisible thread of philosophical unease, merging cinematic visuals with immersive sound design. Like echoes from a future that never happened, these stories ask not what if, but what now?

Episode 1: The Black Box

Runtime: ~6 min Genres: Sci-fi / Mystery / Existential Drama

An elderly man lives alone at the edge of a dying city, his days repeating in silent loops, each one less distinguishable from the last. One foggy morning, a package arrives with no return address—a small, sealed black box, humming softly with an inner vibration that seems almost... sentient.

As he plunges deeper into the black box’s expanding labyrinth, he begins to question whether he ever existed at all—or whether he is just another sequence, suspended in someone else's perception.

The Black Box is a meditation on death, digital consciousness, and the erasure of certainty in an age where data can resurrect—and rewrite—the soul. https://www.francescafini.com/jadeonmars
