Response to Computer Vision for Artists and Designers

Before this article, I was not sure exactly what computer vision was. It was a term I had vaguely heard on occasion, but had never had described in detail.

I really liked Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s installation Standards and Double Standards (2004) , as I think the idea of an exhibit having constant moving pieces that indicate where a viewer is standing in real time is a nice touch. I have seen something similar to this in a museum in my town, the Perot museum. It is an interactive science and history museum, and when you enter, there are a bunch of water molecules suspended on the ceiling at a certain level. When you walk under them, they “fall” or move down a couple of feet toward your position. In that way, it’s like rain that only moves when you stand under one of the molecules.
