The I’m OK//Not OK music video became a way for viewers to reflect on emotion and personal experience. In the Have a Nice Day program, Roundfinger shares a personal response to the video and discusses the creative choices that make its story resonate.
Personal responses to I’m OK//Not OK
The video drew attention for the emotional response it prompted among viewers. Roundfinger says he was quickly drawn into its world and felt overwhelmed enough to cry. He connects that reaction with personal memories of the film Dear Dakanda and the book The Red Postbox, illustrating how art can bring a person’s own experiences into a new story.
A music video as a work of art
Roundfinger views I’m OK//Not OK as a strong work of art that conveys emotion through a story told with images and music. In this interpretation, it is more than a sequence of images set to a song: the visual narrative invites viewers to feel along with its characters.
The choice to keep the storytelling simple
The video’s relatively simple characters and settings are part of what makes it distinctive. Roundfinger sees the decision to tell the story this way as a creative risk that helps the audience connect with it.

Planning the shoot
The production is described as carefully planned so the images and camera perspectives could communicate emotion effectively.
AI and human creativity
As AI tools develop, their role in creative work raises questions about what human experience contributes to art.
What AI can and cannot express
Roundfinger’s view is that AI can create art to some extent, but may not experience human emotion in the way people do. He argues that work made by people can draw on lived experience and communicate emotional depth. This is an interpretation of creativity, not a measurable test that applies to every work made with AI.
Being present with other people
The discussion emphasizes experience, understanding, and connection with everyday life as part of creating work that speaks to people. Time spent with other people can help creators notice and understand different perspectives.
Art in everyday life
Roundfinger describes art as something found beyond galleries and museums: in music, films, and stories encountered in daily life. Art can help people reflect on their own feelings and understand others.
