Algorithmic Photography Latest TV interview

Latest TV interviewed Alex May about Algorithmic Photography in a segment published on 22 April 2018. The feature brought the series into a broadcast context, giving a wider local audience an introduction to a body of work that uses bespoke software to compress several minutes of recorded time into a single still image.

That matters because Algorithmic Photography can easily be mistaken for a conventional photographic effect or for automated image generation. In interview form, May was able to frame the work more clearly as a developed artistic process built through code, observation, and the careful selection of movement over time. The discussion helped position the series not as a technical novelty but as a way of rethinking how duration, memory, and perception can be made visible.

For May’s wider practice, media moments like this extend the work beyond specialist art and technology audiences. The interview made the ideas behind Algorithmic Photography more publicly legible while keeping attention on the underlying questions that run through the project: what a photograph records, what it leaves out, and how digital systems alter the conditions of seeing.
