“What you will see on the screen is a picture of the various abstract images that might pass through your mind if you sat in a concert hall listening to this music. At first, you are conscious of the piano. Then the music begins to suggest other kinds of things to your imagination. They might be… oh, just masses of color. Or they may be cloud forms… or great landscapes, or vague shadows… or geometrical objects floating in space.” — Fantasia (Walt Disney Productions, 1940)

A fantasia is a musical composition with a free form and often improvisatory style, seldom following the rules of any strict musical form. Fantasía (Alejandro Campos, 2024) is a generative experience born from a machine-generated musical score that informs the visual arrangement of constructed shapes, algorithmic textures, and emergent compositions. This series continues Campos’s ongoing attachment to playfulness, unencumbered acts of creativity, and the pursuit of capturing the joy of imagination.
