Shared Folder (Red box) v'21

POI Finch: “You are being watched. The government has a secret system: a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know, because I built it… “ …maybe the government doesn’t need the machine… you are sharing your intimacy without even knowing and anyone can access it with a 35$ machine.

Back in 2015 I asked myself: what could found photography be like in the digital age? I created Shared Folder (Red Box) in 2016.

In the context of the digital era, found photography means images found on public websites such as the social networks, e.g. Flickr, Instagram, Google Street View, etc. In these cases, the author of the images meant for them to become accessible (even if only out of legal obligation, as it happens with surveillance footage).

Contact Sheets

June 25, 2013

As part of my Artificial Intelligence research, I created these contact sheets of the faces that the algorithm detects. You can read more about my research here.

You can also view the full contact sheets archive on contacts or Flickr. The archive is updated every time the system finds a sufficient number of new faces.

Note that every picture is credited. This is not the appropriation of images from the internet; it’s the re-use of freely distributed content interpreted by an AI algorithm.
