Schwittlick's work reveals these daily gestures - our clicks, drags, and hovers - as something far more embodied than mere utility, a choreography of modern existence, each movement a negotiation between flesh and pixel, intention and interface.
In the Caltech Studies series, Schwittlick appropriates one of computer vision's foundational moments: the manual annotation of over 9,000 images that formed the first systematic attempt to teach machines to "see." These gestural traces, originally created by three scientists meticulously outlining objects with computer mice, are transformed through two…
