Utopian Extraction (detecting stones)

Brief description

Work 3 _ Sisyphus Dataset and Work 4 _ Fresh Stones in Utopian Extraction explores the generic with the artificial. The artists (creators) collect 25 broken stones from sites of "Generic Nature". These stones are photographed and 25 photos are synthesized by scaling stretching and other pre-processing methods to a dataset of 10,000 images. This is a form of data augmentation to increase the accuracy of  artificial intelligence.

In Work 4 _ Fresh Stones the originally photographed stones are classified as fresh stones by the model trained with the dataset. And when poured with Ketchup during a performance lecture the object detection application mistakes the stones for hot dogs.
