Animal Classifier – Arbitrary classifications for machine learning

Category Linux Members Objects People Posted on:

Created by Seoul based artistic duo Shinseungback Kimyonghun, Animal Classifier is an AI trained to divide animals into arbitrary classifications to foreground the imperfections and edge cases in classification systems.

Taxonomy was used as derived from the essay ‘The Analytical Language of John Wilkins’ by Jorge Luis Borges where he discusses arbitrarities of John Wilkins and writes – “it is clear that there is no classification of the Universe not being arbitrary and full of conjectures. The reason for this is very simple: we do not know what thing the universe is.”.

Portrait – Discovering centric figure(s) of movies using facial recognition

‘Portrait’ is a series of digital portraits representing an identity (or a face) of a movie. Custom software detects faces from every 24 frames of a movie, and creates an average face of all found faces.

Computed Curation – Curating photography with neural networks

Created by Philipp Schmitt (with Margot Fabre), ‘Computed Curation’ is a photobook created by a computer. Taking the human editor out of the loop, it uses machine learning and computer vision tools to curate a series of photos from an archive of pictures.

Darwin – Daniel Brown for the D’Arcy Thompson Zoology Museum

Originally entitled ‘On Growth and Form’ in homage to D’Arcy Thompson’s pioneering book, Darwin is a new artwork by Daniel Brown for the D’Arcy Thompson Zoology Museum.

3D Printing Freeform and Vector Based Objects

The process allows the creation of freeform objects without the need for molds or supporting structures. Likewise, tool can be changed, manual and multi-material injections performed, live modification and the ability to physically “undo” the print.
