Human Likes | interactive installation

(c) 2016 Stéphane Bissières, coproduction "Le Cube, Centre d'art numérique" www.stephanebissieres.com visuals : Quartz Composer sound : reaktor Human likes is an interactive playful installation using a tool from mass surveillance to make small ephemerals groups build self-organised performances. It is about computer vision and how are we seen by the machine. Simply observe to enter the network and be interconnected in realtime to other observers. This "computer vision" creates link between strangers while playing with the ambiguity of a self-surveillance society which one can hardly escape. Never alone, the individual is seen as a sum of data connected to those around him. The installation is programmed via the software "Quartz Composer. A face recognition algorithm is associated with a video synthesis engine that directly connects the faces between them. The created polygon reflects in real time the positions and movements of the spectators.
