ALGORITHMIC SEARCH FOR LOVE

SUCHALGORITHMUS/FILMSAMMLUNG/EINGABEPULT/PROJEKTION, 2010
In a time in which digital cultural assets far outweigh analog, the ease with which we can now amass and exchange material has resulted in large personal collections of media data (music, films, series etc.). Julian Palacz has devised and developed a search engine that is able to enter text to search personal film and video archives for spoken language. An individual collection of films thus becomes a database of keywords and every spoken word or phrase in the archives can be searched. By entering a sentence like “i love her”, all film or video clips with this phrase will be shown in sequence. The selection of keywords therefore determines the process of resequencing image and sound in the film material. Algorithmic search for love creates an algorithm that unfurls for the viewer new possibilities for audiovisual narratives.

Abstract:
Nesta época em que os bens culturais digitais sobrepujaram os analógicos, a facilidade com que podemos obter e trocar material resulta em grandes coleções pessoais de dados de mídia (música, filmes, seriados etc.). Julian Palacz projetou e desenvolveu um motor de busca que consegue entrar em textos para buscar arquivos pessoais de filmes e vídeos pela língua falada. Assim, uma coleção individual de filmes se torna uma base de dados de palavras-chave e toda palavra ou frase falada nos arquivos pode ser achada. Ao introduzir uma sentença como “I love her”, todos os filmes ou videoclipes com essa frase serão mostrados em sequência. A seleção de palavras-chave, portanto, determina o processo de produzir novas sequências de imagens e sons no material filmado. “Algorithmic search for love” cria um algoritmo que abre para o espectador novas possibilidades em termos de narrativas audiovisuais.
