The camouflage, a fashion show made by codes and algorithms

Numbers and codes are gradually changing the way we do visual research in the world of applied arts and combinations of computerized photography with artificial intelligence’s algorithms provides valid alternatives in the exploration of new formal solutions where the code precedes the form, thus giving birth to a new aesthetic taste.

With the “The Camouflage” project Dutch studio RNDR, redesigned some frames extracted from Shift Souls by Iris Van Herpen, through a combination of data. The silhouettes are refined with the Grubcut technique which basically subtracts information from the video source and then fill the lack of this information relating to pixels with the Inpainting technique. In this specific case it not only determines a new formality of the content but rather (considered the historical moment) it offers new ideas on the multiple possibilities of how to use it with new technologies.
