From what I understand, “computer vision” refers to a broad range of algorithms that let computers make sophisticated analyses of digital images and movies. The reading begins with defining computer vision and then explores its use in interactive arts, emphasizing Marvin Minsky’s early miscalculation of the field’s complexity. The reading was educational, especially the portion that highlighted how many different kinds of artworks use computer vision. These works of art range widely in style, from abstract and formal pieces to ones with comedic or political overtones, and this is important in regard to understanding the different ways in which we can communicate art.
Moreover, other artists mentioned explore a wide spectrum of human movement, from close studies of facial expressions to broader gestures and even entire body movements. Overall, the reading underscores the rich potential of computer vision in the realm of interactive art, showcasing its versatility and impact on artistic expression.
