Grocery Trip

Grocery Trip

“Computers are good at lots of tasks – but they’ll never replace creative activities and artists”

May I present Pouff’s grocery shopping video (Grocery Trip). It was created back in 2015 using neural network technology which attempted to identify animal faces in places where they didn’t actually exist.

Incidentally, Mario Klingemann disagrees with the first statement. “Humans are not original,” he says. “We only reinvent, make connections between things we have seen.” While humans can only build on what we have learned and what others have done before us, “machines can create from scratch”

Stainless – slow-motion train stations

Amazing.  Adam Magyar takes high-speed video of crowds as his train pulls into stations and then replays them at slow speed – creating a ghostly passage through the terminal. He did this in New York, Berlin, and Tokyo. Having just been in Shinjuku station a month or so ago, this one is my favorite.
