“Cinemetrics is the thesis project of Frederic Brodbeck‘s at
the Royal Academy of Arts (KABK), Den Haag. It aims to create a visual
“fingerprint” for film using the editing structure, color, speech and
motion. Different characteristics are analysed using python and openCV,
and data visualised using a custom Processing application. This allows
films to be interpreted or compared side by side.” – from creativeapplications.net

with a thermal camera (seeing the heat
of the different materials) and then

wall on top of our visible spectrum.
the pieces are made with sprayed tempera
paint which moves over whatever happens
to be in the space that I am looking at.” – lance winn
