I’m making a post for a few little apps. The Slit Scan Camera app just seems kind of novel & like it’d be fun to play with for a minute. Demonstrates the idea of a photo being not-instantaneous + time corresponding to space.
The other app I posted was the Spirit Talker ™ which lets you talk to ghosts. I absolutely love ghost hunting television. I get it if you’re skeptical that your phone has actual sensors for real ghosts, but with equipment they use in the TV shows, it’s such a creative theatrical use of imperfect sensors. Even if some if it is possibly staged (unlikely), they’ve still figured out how to mess with the sensors’ reliability while remaining off camera (minus post-production). It’s actually a very nuanced take on mass-media through the lens of old-time spirit photography practices. I would be very disappointed if the Spirit Talker ™ app relies solely on some rng algorithm, and doesn’t incorporate sensor data into that at least a little. I have had similar phone apps actually scare me before. Attached is a relevant image of Zach Bagans from Ghost Adventures. I hope he brightens your day.
