Artist Statement:
Computers Watching Movies shows what a computational system sees when it watches the same films that we do. Software written by the artist uses computer vision algorithms and artificial intelligence to allow the system to decide what to watch. Clips from six popular films are used in the work, enabling viewers to draw upon their own visual memory of familiar scenes. The work asks viewers to consider the implications of computer vision for contemporary culture.
