I used the Python script for ‘object detection’ with the CLASS “bicycle” to create this edit.
My source material consists of the unofficial music video for Boards of Canada’s "Everything You Do is a Balloon", which makes use of archival footage. The original footage belongs to a 1963 film titled “One Got Fat: Bicycle Safety”. It depicts a group of youngsters riding bicycles to the park for a picnic and documents the violation of various bicycle safety rules. One by one, the children are eliminated as they violate rules, and only one manages to arrive at the park.
I chose this video for its depiction of bicycles and dreamlike atmosphere.
This snippet is from a 1979 documentary about the Greek musician "Lasos". His music mainly comprised of synthesizers. I picked the word "patterns" with a meta approach, as we're literally looking for patterns when using algorithms to edit.
