Unlogo Kickstarter Campaign Relaunched
Fri, 08 Oct 2010 22:05:07 +0000

Today I re-launched my Unlogo Kickstarter Campaign.  I realize that this kind of defeats the purpose of “all-or-nothing”, but I got a few requests to do so, so let’s see what happens! It will be very embarrassing if it fails again.

Unlogo Workshop at Eyebeam
Mon, 13 Sep 2010 23:52:01 +0000

I will be teaching a workshop at Eyebeam on Sept 29th based on what I learned so far with Unlogo. This will include the FFMPEG AVFilter interface (new! exciting!), and some OpenCV 2.1 stuff.  I will basically be teaching people how to build their own “smart” video filters. http://eyebeam.org/events/unlogo-workshop Please spread the word!

I just launched the Unlogo kickstarter campaign.   Please be the first (or the next) to contribute! Why do I need a kickstarter campaign?  As nice as it was to have Eyebeam pay my rent for the past 4 years, I’m out on my own now.  I’ve been working on this project pretty much full time [...]

Unlogo on Berkeley Net Art

Thanks to Steve Dietz, Jaime Austin, and Richard Rinehart for putting Unlogo in the Berekely Net Art exhibition.

Welcome to Unlogo

Unlogo is a web service that eliminates logos and other corporate signage from videos. On a practical level, it takes back your personal media from the corporations and advertisers. On a technical level, it is a really cool combination of some brand new OpenCV and FFMPEG functionality. On a poetic level, it is a tool for focusing on what is important in the record of your life rather than the ubiquitous messages that advertisers want you to focus on.

In short, Unlogo gives people the opportunity to opt out of having corporate messages permanently imprinted into the photographic record of their lives.

Unlogo is a participatory project that needs your help - participate now! We are collecting videos that contain logos and illustrations of logos to make the filter stronger. Please head to the About page or the FAQ to find out more.
