Balenciaga AI-Generated Videos Rule the Internet 2023
Tech-savvy early adopters have developed unique methods to employ AI to establish a new Internet entertainment genre. AI marketing combining iconic media properties with Balenciaga are following Drake-voiced tracks and absurd presidential talks.
“Harry Potter by Balenciaga” by YouTuber demonflyinfox launched the high-tech meme March 15. The video of classic characters reinvented as attractive fashion models with sharp cheekbones, luxuriant hair, immaculate facial hair, and avant-garde costumes has garnered over 9 million views and social media attention.

Demonflyinfox and other AI prompt specialists have made more films set to Thip Trong’s “Lightvessel” since the video’s popularity.
The “by Balenciaga” films are presumably developed using strong AI algorithms like Midjourney, a generative artificial intelligence software and service built and maintained by San Francisco-based independent research lab Midjourney, Inc.
Midjourney utilizes text cues to create a unified depiction using natural language descriptions. Demonflyinfox offers Patreon lessons.
Why are “by Balenciaga” videos so popular? The AI-generated works’ virality relies on recent interest in technology and social media’s hilarious network of entertainment that has made memes a part of modern life. The viral response is due to the “uncanny valley” effect of the movies’ forced clashing of known fictional works with an inflated awareness of high fashion, notably Balenciaga’s apparel under Creative Director Demna.
Demonflyinfox has released two more “Harry Potter by Balenciaga” videos to build a series of snippets based on movies and TV shows. “Batman by Balenciaga,” “Star Wars,” “Marvel,” “Lord of the Rings,” “Breaking Bad,” “Game of Thrones,” and “The Office” are notable.
