Whiteonwhite:algorithmicthriller

OK, what is an algorithmic thriller?

The invitation reads:
"The film is running.
There is no start or end time.
Please enter and leave as you wish.
The length of the film is determined by you.
Feel free to walk to the front of the theater
to read the code screens."

To find out, head over to MoMA's Titus Theater 2 today at 6pm (doors open at 5pm).
There will be a Q + A at 6:30pm with Eve Sussman, Jeff Wood, Kevin Messman and Jeff Garneau

And from the organizers, here's a little bit more of a clue: "On June 6th, The Museum of Modern Art will act as a black box testing site for a “beta version” of whiteonwhite:algorithmicthriller. The film will be powered by code, programmed exclusively for the project, that edits the film in real time culling from a server loaded with over 2,000 film clips, sounds, and narration. The guided nature of the code causes it to pull video and audio, based on voice over and tags written into the metadata of each file and the narrative. The movie mixes chronology, intertwining beginning, middle or end, never repeating the same way twice."

Fascinating stuff....
