Robot readable world - Timo Arnall
Description: “This is a short film, an experiment in machine-vision footage. It uses found-footage from computer vision research to explore how machines are making sense of the world.

Machines have a tiny, fractional view of our environment, that sometimes echoes...

“Of course, it’s not really called Roflcoptr, any more than mephedrone was ever called ‘meow meow’ outside of the tabloids. The drug is methoxetamine, it’s similar to ketamine, and it exploits the same legal loophole that enabled mephedrone to flourish in 2009 - ie, chemists take an illegal drug and tweak its molecular structure very slightly, until it’s...

“It is a little known fact that in Germany, anyone with a few hundred euros to spare can sponsor a high or low pressure front and name it after themselves or a loved one.
