Artist Statement:
SVEN is the project that asks the question: If computer vision technology can be used to detect when you look like a terrorist or other “undesirable” – why not when you look like a rock star? The SVEN system is set up in public places where a surveillance system might be expected – like a van on the street. A custom computer vision application tracks pedestrians and detects their characteristics, looking for possible rock stars. A real-time video processing application receives this information and generates music video like visuals from the live camera feed. The resulting video and audio are displayed on a monitor in the van’s window, interrupting the standard security camera-type display each time a potential rock star is detected.
