Recoding Art (Classifying Art)

Brief description

Different kind of AI (object detection technology) is used to classify art. The descriptions that the AI provides are banal, but the mundane descriptions of the artworks reveal something about our time. The classifications that the AI provides seam flawed as the viewer knows that we are looking at artworks, however, the AI subverts the art expert and questions the power of meaning making art institutions behold. This is further investigated as Mechanical Turk (crowd workers)  who label images for object detection are asked to interpretateobjects from the art collection and define if what they see is art.
