8.2. "... process reproduction is more independent of the original than manual reproduction. For example, in photography, process reproduction can bring out those aspects of the original that are unattainable to the naked eye yet accessible to the lens, which is adjustable and chooses its angle at will. And photographic reproduction, with the aid of certain processes, such as enlargement or slow motion, can capture images which escape natural vision." (The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, 1936)

17.1. We believe the results presented here are part of a proof of concept of a more general idea: “Wasted” human processing power can be harnessed to solve problems that computers cannot yet solve.
