ICE Propaganda Videos
A systematic examination of propaganda videos produced by ICE and originally published on the Defense Video Imagery Distribution System. Each work in this series is algorithmically generated from a single ICE video. I feed every frame of every video into image classifying software capable of identifying and isolating common objects in images. The system looks specifically for segments containing human bodies or body parts, and the final image is algorithmically constructed from the segments, ordered by size. The results assemble each video into one image, providing a compressed view of the visual hierarchy of human subjects according to ICE.
A version of the project also appeared in Flash Art Magazine.
