Sometimes Your Eyes Do Not See

Abstract Since its early days, machine vision has been deeply dependent on photographic databases. As visually "intelligent" machines have rapidly advanced, this connection has strengthened and reversed the equation, with contemporary photographic imagery significantly influenced by the techniques developed in computer sciences. Using a technique called "histogram of oriented gradients", Sometimes Your Eyes Do Not See explores the machinic gaze that increasingly permeates contemporary artistic practices and reflects on the ways it affects our perception of the world.
