Over three months, will create an ever-expanding virtual gallery by searching through 罢补迟别鈥檚 collection of British art and archive material online, comparing artworks with news images from Reuters based on visual and thematic similarities twenty-four hours a day. Making unforeseen comparisons across history, geography and culture, the result will be a time capsule of the world represented in diverse types of images, past and听present.
Recognition incorporates multiple artificial intelligence technologies, including computer vision capabilities such as object recognition, facial recognition, colour and composition analysis; and natural language processing of text associated with images, allowing it to analyse context and subject matter and produce written descriptions of image听comparisons.听
The display at Tate Britain accompanies the online project offering visitors the chance to interrupt the machine鈥檚 selection process. The results of this experiment 鈥� to see if an artificial intelligence can learn from the many personal responses humans have when looking at images 鈥� will be presented on the virtual gallery site at the end of the听project.
IK Prize听2016
The IK Prize is presented annually by Tate for an idea that uses digital technology to innovate the way we discover, explore and enjoy British art in the Tate听collection.
The 2016 IK Prize, in partnership with Microsoft, challenged digital creatives to use artificial intelligence to explore, investigate or 鈥榰nderstand鈥� British art in the Tate collection. Selected as the winner for Recognition, Fabrica received a 拢15,000 prize, 拢90,000 production budget and support from Tate and Microsoft. Fabrica collaborated with artificial intelligence specialists and web developers Jolibrain to turn their idea into听reality.
