I've Got Your Nose is an experimental video addressing the black box that is consumer-grade mobile photo editing software. By seeding an authentic photo as a starting point, it is "enhanced" with each pass. Even though each pass administers a minuscule change, sometimes barely perceivable, it eventually results in a picture that has very little in common with the initial input, but rather drastically points out the underlying parameters that govern the software, and the trajectory of its "beautification".
