About the Item

Tom White is a New Zealand-based artist investigating artificial intelligence and machine perception. White's artwork examines the Algorithmic Gaze: how machines see, know, and articulate the world. As machine perception becomes more pervasive in our daily lives, the world as seen by computers becomes our dominant reality. White explores this phenomenon in his work. Collaborating with AI systems, White creates physical abstract prints that are reliably classified by neural networks. White has created a drawing system that allows neural networks to produce abstract ink prints that reveal their visual concepts. These prints are recognized not only by the neural networks that created them but universally across most AI systems trained to recognize the same objects. "Neural networks have been trained to recognize thousands of individual items from everyday life, such as 'Rabbit,' 'Banana,' or 'Killer Whale,'" says White. "Using the drawing system I have provided, the neural networks directly express in simple ink drawings their own versions of these categories—creating abstract shapes that convey their understanding of the world." It is art by AI, for AI. By giving the algorithms a voice to speak in, we are better able to see the world through the eyes of a machine. White is also a lecturer teaching computational design and creative AI at the Victoria University of Wellington School of Design.

  • Two Flies on a Bentwood Chair: colorful rainbow pop art landscape Micheal Hurson
    By Michael Hurson
    Located in New York, NY
    A colorful pop art drawing of a whimsical landscape scene featuring red flowers, green trees, yellow sun, and blue sky and clouds with cubist furniture on a front porch. Two flies converse over bentwood chairs drawn in black, red and white, in this whimsical work by famed New York artist Michael Hurson. Framed in white enamel. Paper 23.5 x 32.5 in. / 59.5 x 82.5 cm Frame 27 x 35 x 2 in. / 68.5 x 89 x 5 cm Two Flies on a Bentwood Chair by Michael Hurson. Lithograph on white paper with silkscreen on plexiglass, in a cream-colored lacquer frame. Edition 70: this impression 56/70. Signed by the artist with initials and numbered 56/70 in pencil lower right. Prepackaged and framed: ready to ship immediately, and ready to hang out of the box. This mixed-media lithograph with silkscreen portrays the colorful scene of a lush, sun-drenched front porch. Hurson's whimsical play on geometry and three-dimensionality is enhanced by the layers of plexiglass and paper upon which the image is printed. In the center of the composition, printed on the base layer of paper, a bright yellow sun sits atop a liquid, sky-blue background, and a jaunty, crayon-textured cloud. A porch door...
