Database Cinema: An Instant Movie Mashup Generator

Julian Palacz’s Algorithmic Search for Love, an interactive digital media installation, works like a search engine; viewers can search a collection of films for a certain spoken phrase and the program plays back a montage of all those moments in sequence. The program works by parsing the English subtitle tracks of 500 films on a local hard drive, creating an edit similar to the “supercut” sequences that have been so popular on YouTube lately — like this one. This video demonstrates how the program works with the phrases “where are you?” and “holy shit!”
