de-embedding

Amsterdam, March 2026
Activations in the first layer of the YOLO (You Only Look Once) object detection AI model determine from which video frame to load pixels.

The city, badly translated by glass.

A passing figure, traffic, façades, palms, light — all of it split by a surface pretending to be transparent. Clean descriptions are usually the least honest ones.

This one felt closer to how the street actually behaves: fractured, indirect, slightly suspicious.

Save it if you like your cities unclear.

Holographic

Slit-scan video of people moving in Amsterdam Centraal railway station in August 2021, rendered as a volume, the transparency of pixels is determined by activations of a layer of the Ultralytics YOLO model run on the video. The music is generated by activations of a neural layer of OpenAI's CLIP image description model injected into Facebook's MusicGen generative model for 3 second chunks of this video.

Shinagawa, Tokyo, January 2026

Digital trichrome triple-exposure, using a Steinheil 55mm f5.6 in a Prontor Press leaf shutter adapted to a Sony A7. Three photos with red, green and blue filters respectively, are exposed with the leaf shutter with the camera in bulb mode. The camera is controlled by a microcontroller operating the camera shutter via the remote interface. The microcontroller counts the exposures of the leaf shutter using its PC flash sync connection and ends the exposure after the leaf shutter fired a set number of times.
