jzabala – Assignment 1: 4 Seasons

I ran one picture of nature and ran it through the Facebook filters Summer, Spring, Fall, and Winter separately until I saw that the image was sufficiently distorted. The filters are meant to bring out certain aspects according to the season and the reposting of the image on Facebook shows how skewed nature can become after so many posts.

I started off with the same original photo for each to really highlight exactly what the filters were doing to the picture. I would post the picture with the filter and then download it and apply it again. For the winter filter, the picture would become very distorted when I did this around 15 times but most filters took around 30 times to fully become distorted and abstracted.

I put together a video showing the evolution of each photoset and played the classical piece “4 Seasons” under each corresponding season to emphasize a difference in the classical presentation of the seasons and a more modern way of presenting them.
