“Brakelights”
Documentary Film from Aaron Proctor
Synopsis
A new media artwork that is a demonstration of a real-time computer system that senses color changes in a live video feed to make choices from a database of dialogue lines ... a live cinema-making machine. In this example, the brightness levels of red brakelights on a Los Angeles freeway are matched to five emotions: anger, irritation, indecision, hope, and love. The result is a movie directed by an environment.
