A small small mannerism and the top of an egg

A small small mannerism and the top of an egg are part of the project A.I. object recognition, Infrathin. It explores the use of language that is co-created with artificially intelligent algorithms. Galle used machine learning image recognition to describe 3D printed objects such as a urinal. The resulting descriptions resemble the writings of a deranged art critic trying to pin down an artwork using a poetic approach.

Pretext

Jerry Galle (BE)

Pretext is a software that analyses a database of existing texts and rewrites them using similar linguistic patterns. In the site-specific installation of the project, a printer prints out every 50 minutes the texts re-created by the software, which eventually will be bundled into one unique book after the show.
