Computer Vision Dazzle Makeup

via today and tomorrow by pieter | today and tomorrow on 3/31/10

Adam Harvey is currently writing his thesis at the ITP and his topic is Computer Vision Dazzle. He's researching and developing privacy enhancing counter technology, to protect individual privacy for everyone. So here you can find some makeup patterns which make it impossible for the OpenCV library and it's Haar cascade files, to detect a face. Fun times ahead!

About this image:

Images with a red square tested positive, a face was found
Images without a red square tested negative, no face was found
Images under the section "TEST PATTERNS" are made according to results of the Haar deconstruction
Images under "RANDOM PATTERNS" are random doodles made without the anti-face detection patterns in mind
Images underneath the "NO PATTERNS" heading are left untouched to show that the face detection works well on simple line drawings

Innen Stadt Außen

via today and tomorrow by pieter | today and tomorrow on 3/23/10

"Innen Stadt Außen" is the title of Olafur Eliasson his upcomming exhibition at the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin.

Innen Stadt Außen concerns itself closely with the relationship between museum and city, architecture and landscape, as well as between space, body and time. The site-specific investigations within the museum are amplified and commented on through ephemeral projects in public space, thus linking the Martin-Gropius-Bau to various places within the city.

This photo of the Berlin Fernsehturm gives you an idea what to expect. The exhibition opens on April 28th and you'll have time till August 9th to go and see it.

McWisdom from McGinley

“I think masturbating is the most creative that you’ll ever be. You’re creating this whole scenario in your head for just, say, five to ten minutes, just to please yourself. And people do it every day and don’t realize how it’s a total art form. Does that sound gay? No, but it’s true! All these insane thoughts go though your head, like all these crazy mass images and information, like creating people that you’re really into, creating this whole situation in your head, like of your best friend you grew up with, or your high school gym teacher or whatever, just to have an orgasm! And that’s awesome; that’s what photography is about, making images to please yourself.”

- Ryan McGinley, Oyster Magazine, 2003 (via fuckyeahryanmcginley)

wonderful video set to Múm's "Asleep on a Train"

asleep on a train from fabian röttger on Vimeo.

two things came to mind: how the dancer must be ready to move beyond feeling awkward in the setting- this one truly is; and how the cops never showed up.

This reminded me of maryann's work a bit.

British artist ANTONY MICALLEF appeared on the art scene in 2000, winning second prize in the BP National Portrait Award. Dealing with the subject of portraiture, human forms are placed in artificial, unnatural environments that are influenced by popular culture in the forms of fashion, music and design.

Deeply troubling, ANTONY's work examines our dichotomous relationship with consumerism, examining how we can maintain to despise multi-national brands yet still allow ourselves to be seduced by them. "The trouble with pop imagery is that it doesn't really go deeper than the surface" he says. "You have to drag it down and challenge it to make it interesting. When you put two contrasting images together, it causes friction, and that is the bit I'm interested in. Play a Britney Spears track and then follow it with a Nine Inch Nails tune - Britney no longer sounds the same, the union of two opposites make an intriguing and strange chemistry."- by Gallery Nosco


"My work is like watching a Disney movie which slowly turns into violent pornography." by ANTONY MICALLEF

Sketch-a-Move

via today and tomorrow by pieter | today and tomorrow on 3/3/10

Sketch-a-Move is a project by Anab Jain and Louise Klinker. They actually did this a few years ago. It's a concept for a toy car that allows you to explore the unique relationships between small surface doodles and actual physical movements. If you draw a circle on the top of the toy car, it will move in a circle. If you draw a complicated spiral, the car will move in a spiral. They don't explain how it actually works or could work, but it sure looks like fun.

AntiVJ made this light and sound installation called "Tour des Convoyeurs" during the Mutek festival in Montreal. We've seen video projections on buildings before, but the look and feel of this one is very nice.
