Dreams and Hallucinations - Video

This is the video included in my final project exhibition. The treatment of people came about from an accident. I planned to just video people walking past the posters out in the wild.

I was configuring the raspberry pi used in the exhibit so it would automatically play a video on startup. I found out when ssh-ing into the pi that the video would play in ascii in the terminal. I thought this was so interesting!

I triggered the video and recorded the screen. I then overlayed the two videos and rotoscoped the people out. The playback didn't match up well, so sometimes they walk past as "ghosts" and other times they walk within their own frames.

This made me think of people being replaced by AI.
