This video is part of an art project by James Coupe, commissioned by Abandon Normal Devices. The video's narrative is algorithmically constructed from Facebook status updates and YouTube videos. Demographic information extracted from these updates is matched with a database of video portraits and clips from contextually relevant YouTube videos. The status updates that the project selects are typically from a number of different users, as the system seeks out the best combination of available posts until it finds something that can be considered a story.
