It was interesting to learn about how computers actually see and what stood out for me was the various methods employed by a computer to see and make decision or create art. Selection of a computer vision technique adds complexity to the interactive works and alters how one can interact with the work. The right technique must also be selected to minimize errors and ensure consistency in the art as some techniques are known not to perform well in certain conditions.
One possible application of this could be how an interactive artwork involving computer vision can be placed strategically in an arts exhibition to accentuate or improve the vision of the work. Carefully selected piece of art can be placed around the work to generate the needed contrast, brightness or effects for the computer vision just like how the white Foamcore was used for the LimboTime game.
The use of surveillance to generate arts was also something worth taking a look at. Are there any privacy restrictions or laws protecting the identities of the people in these forms of arts and how are their privacies protected? The work Suicide Box by the Bureau of Inverse Technology makes me question if artist actually have the right to use data or information like this to create a piece of work. It gives me the impression that they are amusing tragedy. I am also left with the question: how do they respect the dignity of those who jumped off the bridge?
