[Review on Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/film/looking-4-u/)

Using pose detection machine learning models to search over 2 million images from dance television shows of the 70s, 80s and 90s, “Looking 4 U” is a kinetic music video exploring filmic collage techniques, generative textures, audiovisual rhythms, and the universal art of shaking your butt.

Music: Haven't You Heard (Fitzy's Half Charged Mix), Patrice Rushen and Alan Fitzpatrick
