Who doesn’t love a good supercut?
And no, we’re not referring to the budget hair salon, but rather to the obsessive fan-created video montages that string together isolated scenes from movies, TV shows and other video content to create an all-encompassing sequence of usually hilarious proportions. The genre has given birth to such instant classics as “Every Single Dude,” a supercut of scenes from The Big Lebowski and this gem of “Nicolas Cage Losing His Shit.” Supercuts are fun to watch, but incredibly tedious to create. You’ve got to slog through all that footage and painstakingly mark and grab every scene.
But that’s all about to change thanks to Austrian new media artist Julian Palacz, whose graduation project Algorithmic Search For Love indexes all the captioned videos of his personal film collection and algorithmically searches the text search engine to automatically locate scenes associated with a specific keyword or phrase.
