Desarrollo de una propuesta de lenguaje audiovisual y sonoro para el cortometraje de ficción Usuario Cero, centrado en la relación entre identidad, autoría y automatización digital

Abstract

The project Usuario Cero consists of the development of an audiovisual and sound language proposal for a fiction short film that reflects on the relationship between identity, authorship and digital automation in the contemporary context. Based on the subjective experience of an audiovisual creator confronted with an artificial intelligence capable of replicating their creative style, the project problematises notions of originality, creative control and authorial value within an environment mediated by algorithmic technologies. Through a research-creation methodology, the project articulates an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that integrates film studies, cultural theory and philosophy of technology, engaging with concepts such as technical reproducibility, simulacrum, the crisis of authorship and the automation of creative processes. These reflections are translated into concrete narrative, visual and sound decisions, resulting in an aesthetic proposal grounded in minimalist cinema, silence, temporal dilation and affective neutrality. The short film proposes a contained and contemplative narrative that avoids explicit conflict and privileges observation, constructing a reflective experience for the viewer. Through an austere mise-en-scène and minimalist sound design, Usuario Cero positions itself as a work that does not seek to provide definitive answers about the impact of artificial intelligence on artistic creation, but rather opens a critical space to question the role of the human creator in the digital age. Keywords: Audiovisual language, minimalist cinema, authorship, artificial intelligence, digital automation, audiovisual creation.
