- write a few sentences about why you find it interesting;
- include an embedded image and/or video documenting the project.
- categorize your blog post using the WordPress Category, ProjectToShare.
- Read this article (The Camera, Transformed by Machine Vision), and in a blog post with the WordPress Category Reading01, write a paragraph and discuss the relationship between the user/operator and cameras/sensors that make choices on their own. What is the role of the operator/user(s)? How does that defy or affirm expectations of a “camera” and “authorship”?
