GOST OPERATOR — PLAY WITH YOUR DATA
GOST OPERATOR is an independent studio that invents creative machines for manipulating media.
From Berlin, we build a collection of simple, visual, specialized tools. Each machine performs one precise task: analyzing, sorting, cutting, transforming, remixing, or broadcasting images, videos, sounds, and texts.
Among the tools developed and documented on GitHub:
– SONO PLAY MINI / PRO analyzes a music library and automatically builds a coherent, progressive, non-repetitive mix.
– VIDZ TURN SHOT detects the edit points in a video and turns it into a collection of independent shots.
– PICS TURN GIFS instantly turns series of images into GIFs.
– DRAG WEAR IRON generates assemblages between characters and clothing.
– SORT WEAR GEAR then recognizes people and clothing, sorts the results, and removes duplicates.
– I AM EVERYWHERE swaps a face in images, on the web, or through batch processing on a computer.
– WAVE ROAM MINI travels the world’s radio stations and turns listening into a journey.
– RUSH OPERATOR ingests, searches, and organizes large amounts of raw footage.
– TEXT, MIND, and VIZD OPERATOR turn texts, ideas, and data into visible, navigable material.
– VIDZ GRAB, SCAN, FLTR, and PLAY form a complete chain for retrieving, analyzing, filtering, and playing video.
– GUSH OPERATOR explores a generative cinema driven by brain responses.
– TXTDATAWORK / TXT ADD VIZ turns text and data into manipulable visualizations.
– Download tools, playlist analysis, radio broadcasting, and Raspberry Pi interfaces extend this ecosystem into the physical world.
All these machines follow the same philosophy: one input, one clear transformation, one immediately usable result.
GOST OPERATOR does not aim to build another universal piece of software full of menus. We build autonomous, local, and understandable instruments, capable of augmenting a human gesture without making it disappear.
The code lives on GitHub. The machines can become Mac applications, Web interfaces, installations, Raspberry Pi tools, or custom-built devices.
GOST OPERATOR is at once a research studio, a collection of tools, and a new way of producing: starting from existing material, understanding what it contains, then transforming it into dozens of new possibilities.
BE THE ALGORITHM.
Other modules from the studio are also available on GitHub: I AM EVERYWHERE COMPUTER PHOTOS BATCH, SONO PLAY MINI LIVE, PICK POCKET RADIO PLAYER, VIDZ TURN SONO, and GOSTOPERATOR.
