The project focuses on the truth and reality of the images we see. Taking any kind of video source as input, the stream's audio channel is continously played back. The corresponding frame is calculated from similarity to all previous frames. The most similar frame will be displayed. Each new frame is then placed in a database for comparison with forthcoming frames. This creates a steadily growing and learning mass which—after some time—can replace ''reality'' with frames from the past. At that point no clear distinction between reality and fiction can be made anymore. | The project focuses on the truth and reality of the images we see.
