Spacelapser is a tool for exploring the three-dimensional volumes created by loading an entire video into memory. Depending on the motion of the camera, this volume can resemble a lightfield, a slit-scan camera, or a special relativity simulator.

Conceptual artist exploring our use of technology and its ethical and aesthetic implications.
_
[EN] Filipe Vilas-Boas was born in Portugal in 1981. He is a self-taught conceptual artist currently living and working in Paris. Without being a naive tech utopist or a reluctant technophobe, he explores our use of technology and its ethical and aesthetic implications. His installations, performances and conceptual artworks question the global digitalization of our societies, mostly by merging our physical (IRL) and digital (URL) worlds.
His works were highlighted in the Portuguese Emerging Art Books, 2018 & 2019 Edition and have been shown internationally notably at Nuit Blanche Paris, the UNESCO, Biennale Siana, Le Cube, The French Ministry of Culture, Biennale Némo - Le 104 (FR), Athens Digital Art Festival, Monitor - Heraklion Contemporary Arts Festival (GR), Zaratan, MAAT Museum (PT) and at the Tate Modern (UK).
A showcase with creative machine learning experiments
Web scraping describes techniques for automatically downloading and processing web content, or converting online text and other media into structured data that can then be used for various purposes. In short, the user writes a program to browse and analyze the web on their behalf, rather than doing so manually. This is a common practice in silicon valley, where open html pages are transformed into private property: Facebook began as a (horny) web scraping project, as did Google and all other search engines. Web scraping is also frequently used to acquire the massive datasets needed to train machine learning models, and has become an important research tool in fields such as journalism and sociology.
I define "scrapism" as the practice of web scraping for artistic, emotional, and critical ends. It combines aspects of data journalism, conceptual art, and hoarding, and offers a methodology to make sense of a world in which everything we do is mediated by internet companies. These companies surveill us, vacuum up every trace we leave behind, exploit our experiences and interject themselves into every possible moment. But in turn they also leave their own traces online, traces which when collected, filtered, and sorted can reveal (and possibly even alter) power relations. The premise of scrapism is that everything we need to know about power is online, hiding in plain sight.
This is a work-in-progress guide to web scraping as an artistic and critical practice, created by Sam Lavigne. I will be updating it over the coming months! I'll also be doing occasional live demos either on Twitch or YoutTube.

Want to make a deep music video? Wrap your mind around BigGAN. Developed at Google by Brock et al. (2018)¹, BigGAN is a recent chapter in a brief history of generative adversarial networks (GANs). GANs are AI models trained by two competing neural networks: a generator creates new images based on statistical patterns learned from a set of example images, and a discriminator tries to classify the images as real or fake. By training the generator to fool the discriminator, GANs learn to create realistic images.
"MindCandy Volume 1: PC Demos." The movie explores the definition and roots of an artistic computer sub-culture known as the demoscene, a community that's given me endless inspiration since the 1980s.

Today, you are an Astronaut. You are floating in inner space 100 miles above the surface of Earth. You peer through your window and this is what you see. You are people watching. These are fleeting moments.
These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you).
Astronaut starts when you press GO. The video switches periodically. Click the button below the video to prevent the video from switching.
Astronaut was created by Andrew Wong and James Thompson on a sunny day in San Francisco in 2011.
Beautiful footage of our earth is provided by the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, NASA Johnson Space Center.

Christmas Eve 1951. Werner and Mylène are looking forward to a cosy evening with turkey and presents when the doorbell rings. It's Sam, Werner's colleague. He has discovered that Werner has been falsifying the books for several months and wants the money back. This is the beginning of a night full of surprises with unexpected plots and where nothing is what is seems.
Repaint your picture in the style of your favorite artist.
About
Our mission is to provide a novel artistic painting tool that allows everyone to create and share artistic pictures with just a few clicks. All you need to do is upload a photo and choose your favorite style. Our servers will then render your artwork for you. We apply an algorithm developed by Leon Gatys, Alexander Ecker and Matthias Bethge. The website was originally created by Łukasz Kidziński and Michał Warchoł. We have now joined forces to provide you with the latest technology in even more accessible way.

Five researchers from the Bethge lab at University of Tübingen (Germany), CHILI Lab at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland) and Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium).
In 1973, Orson Welles narrated this animated short, which features somewhat surreal artwork by Dick Oden. You can see more of Oden's work here.
The Allegory of the Cave illustrates Plato's view of knowledge as presented in Book VII of The Republic: in ordinary experience, we see only shadows of the true world, which we can only behold by pursuing rigorous philosophical analysis.
This is not the only time "The Cave" has been set to film in some form. Open Culture readers may recall this brilliant version done with claymation. Gluttons for punishment may wish to peruse this collection of 20 YouTube versions at PartiallyExaminedLife.com, many of them frightfully amateurish and some of them presenting a warped and/or incomprehensible version of the story.
Modular Video Plugins for Ableton Live
VIZZable is developed with love and released free to the community in the hopes of advancing the art of live audio-visual performance. If you get something out of VIZZable, please give something back to support its development.
MoviePy is a Python module for video editing, which can be used for basic operations (like cuts, concatenations, title insertions), video compositing (a.k.a. non-linear editing), video processing, or to create advanced effects. It can read and write the most common video formats, including GIF.
An oscilloscope can be made to display shapes by playing sounds into it. Making music from these sounds while simultaneously drawing images with those sounds takes things to another level.
In the video I fix up and put an old oscilloscope to a new use, and show how you can watch these audio-visual demos even if you don't have a oscilloscope by using a computer.
