‘What the Robot Saw’ uses contrarian ranking algorithms to constantly curate some of the least attention-grabbing new videos on online media. These videos are rendered largely invisible by commercial social media ranking algorithms — and so may only be seen by the algorithmic robots that rank them. Using computer vision facial and image a***ysis algorithms to curate videos and study their subjects, ‘What the Robot Saw’ continually assembles its film and identifies its “talking head” performers in a robofantastical cinematic style. It’s a Sunday drive through the awkward intersections of performance, surveillance, voyeurism, and robots in the age of the talking head.
