this seems super trivial, but I think there’s something beautiful in a ‘camera’ that looks at a 2d image and just returns a number. In reality all digital cameras do this, they just hide behind more front end that converts that number back into something we can recognize as an image, but a barcode scanner doesn’t take any bs and just spits out a number directly. This in theory only works for very specifically formatted images (barcodes), but now AI is able to embed this into semi-normal looking images…

Baraka is a non narrative documentary from the 90s shot on 70mm film, featuring some pretty complex time lapse shots that involve panning tilting and zooming at the same time. This required the team to build their own custom 70mm camera. I think this is interesting because the ‘experimental’ part here doesn’t come from the camera itself but the way the camera is controlled? Anyways the results are stunning and unlike anything I’ve seen so id all this a successful experiment
