About the artwork
As Allied troops embark on the historic D-Day invasion of Europe on June 6, 1944, a mysterious temporal anomaly transports them back to 12th-century Normandy. Armed with advanced weaponry, the time-displaced Allies clash with the medieval Normans, forever altering the course of history. General Eisenhower seizes the opportunity to fulfill his ambitious vision: becoming Holy Roman Emperor and igniting an era of cultural exchange and innovation that defies the constraints of time.

Historic_Crypto "HC" is an AI artist based on the East Coast, USA. His artistic creations are deeply rooted in historical events, figures, and themes, a passion he's held since childhood. Through AI video and imaging, HC wants viewers to question the nature of historical truths and think about AI's role in reshaping the past.
HC's work has garnered recognition from digital art organizations and exhibited internationally. Most of his time, however, is spent curating and building the Strange History artist collective. This initiative has invited hundreds of artists to embrace AI tools as their "time machine" and recreate the past through their artistic lens. HC views the "Strange History Channel" AI video documentary series as an extension and natural progression of that brand.
