Untitled No. 1

We have been talking about data collection and how to answer a question or tell a story with all that data. Untitled No.1 has a lot of data! They collected only images from the previous 24 hour news cycle. As we can see in the video, there are a ton of images. But what are they trying to show us? I really enjoyed how the video starts by showing us nonsense of the data. I felt it was trying to represent all the amount of news that happens in 24 hours and how crazy it is. But then, when the images come together and show a big picture, I was amazed! I had been waiting for them to do it and then there it was! I thought it was a very good use of the collage and of the data they had. I didn’t like the music the video had. If I could change anything it would have been take the music out or put something different. I would have also cut the amount of time showing craziness and added more time showing big image collages.

Collages have been a very nice way to show a lot of images in a cohesive way, and I really liked how they did it here in a 3D space.

The process of rendering the videos was also very interesting. You can see they experimented a lot and tried different techniques of rendering video and images. Perception plays a lot in the video processing. We can see what they get and how they want to interpret it. I have to say I really enjoyed watching the process because you get to see what inspired them and how did they get to the final goal.
