Behold these Glorious Times!

DirectorTrevor Paglen

2017
10 min
Documentary

The video installation Behold These Glorious Times! presents two types of images, projected in a mosaic in a fast-paced montage. The first come from gigantic data sets used to train artificial vision systems to recognize objects, faces, gestures, and emotions. The others reveal to the human eye what artificial vision systems “see” when they analyze the data provided to them. The installation is part of a series of works in which Trevor Paglen explores the field of artificial vision in order to analyze its epistemological and political implications.
