Computer Vision

Filmmaker Camilo Salas takes viewers on a journey through the pervasive world of surveillance in New York City.

Guided by a local organization, he uncovers the flaws of constant monitoring in public and private spaces. As cameras capture every move and Artificial Intelligence interprets every glance, Salas investigates how politicians grapple with the tension between security and civil liberties. But this is not about problems; this is a film about possibilities.

Through artistic installations and creative resistance, Salas transforms the tools of surveillance into instruments of expression, questioning their role in a society shaped by overseeing. It combines street-level explorations, City Council hearings, and AI visuals to reveal the impact of surveillance on our daily lives. Computer Vision challenges audiences to reconsider the balance between safety, privacy, and freedom, showing that even in a world of constant monitoring, there’s room for resistance and creativity.
