We exhibited our project "Eyes on the Street" at the 2025 Venice Biennale, themed "Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective." Our work uses computer vision to analyze how street life has evolved by comparing William Whyte’s iconic 1980 Super 8 films with contemporary footage from three U.S. cities. We found that people now move faster through public spaces and engage less in group interactions. If public spaces no longer primarily serve as gathering places, what role should they play in contemporary urban life?
