It reminds me of a scene in Interstellar...
THE RANKING SYSTEM
How and why
For this project, a panel of 17 volunteers have been asked to rate a set of 25 video extracts of 15 seconds each. The rating has been established on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 corresponds to nature and 10 to technology. Sometimes, the volunteers explained the motivation behind the decisions they made. The average grades defined the positioning of the videos in the final montage. The result functions as a gradient, from one idea to the other.

Thoughts
The results are extremely variable from one person to another, underlining the difficult aspect of drawing a line between the two notions. The mental representation we have of what is natural and what is technological can conflict with the actual traces of human involvement to generate those representations.
Cyan is the highest score (technology)
Green is the smallest (nature)
Yellow is the average (final position)
Establishing categorizations always involves the creation of a template to put varied things more or less fitting with the stereotype. By making an abstraction we draw a simplification that gets superimposed onto our experience of reality. The image that we have of nature tends to appear like a reassuring mental construction, a utopia, perhaps even a fallacy sometimes. (If a nature exempt of technology felt so peaceful to us, why would we have resisted against our environment to reach the current technological stage we are at?
Tools and process
- Youtube-dl & FFmpeg
Getting content, cutting and removing audio
- Open Office
Spreadsheet and templates for content (Ruben had good tips for the formulas)
- Adobe After Effect
Montage and addition of the gradient stripe
THE PRESENTATION
Tools and process
- Raspberry Pis + Rapsbian + Evil Windows Manager + ??
Creation of mini players automating the video lecture, with the help of Andre. It worked fine but needs a lot of care, especially if they have to stay in a warm place. Will add the scripts.
Final result
The exhibition space
The set up
The set up + people inside
