In Ed Atkins’s 2013 video, Warm, Warm, Warm Spring Mouths, a disembodied male protagonist reads “The Morning Roundup,” a poem by Gilbert Sorrentino (1929–2006), while his setting changes around him, transitioning separately from the content of the text. Created using computer-generated animation and motion-capture software, Atkins video is at once uncannily lifelike and recognizably artificial.
