Skateboarding has always been a mix of art, rebellion, and progression. But in the hands of skateboarding legend Eric Koston, pro skater Sean Pablo and the Edglrd crew, it’s also becoming something else entirely a playground for artificial intelligence to shake up creativity in ways nobody saw coming.
EDGLRD, the multimedia company founded by filmmaker Harmony Korine, isn’t just about making movies. It’s a fusion of skate culture, gaming, and experimental visuals, bringing AI into the creative process in a way that’s starting to reshape how skateboarding is seen, filmed, and even imagined.
And with a legend like Koston in the mix, it’s getting a stamp of approval from someone who’s spent decades shaping the heart of modern skateboarding.
EDGLRD’s take on visual storytelling doesn’t just record tricks; it transforms them into something surreal, using AI-generated effects just like in their latest skate video, Point Cloud, which features experimental cinematography that blurs the line between the physical and the digital.
Koston and the EDGLRD crew aren’t just playing with technology for the sake of novelty. They’re tapping into something bigger - the way skateboarding has always been about creativity, expression, and seeing the world differently.
As for their boss, Korine is reportedly receiving the Trailblazer Award at the Sarasota Film Festival is a fitting moment in all this.
He’s always been about breaking conventions, and now he’s bringing that same mindset into a space where skateboarding, AI, and visual storytelling all meet.
With the EDGLRD skate crew at the forefront, skateboarding’s next chapter is looking more unpredictable and exciting than ever.
