Narrative thumbnails




Movies as bar codes - compressed into a single frame.

While this leans a bit too much towards the concept of "corporate dashboard" by distilling the resonant experience of film by into a colored graph, it is interesting that an overall color "tone" is present in nearly all of the examples. I'd love to see patterns emerge ala EVP or if the generated thumbnail could some how describe additional value (beyond compression/quantification).

This are a lot more aesthetically pleasing that what I'm doing with netGHOST (link forthcoming) but netGHOST doesn't quantify the resonant experience into such a terse glyph.
