Algorithm vs Boobs |
Breast and female form.
|
The work was inspired when I learned that FaceBook banned some images of Rembrandt’s paintings from a Dutch museum’s FB page because the algorithm identified some nudity; in response I made a series of photos of artificial female breasts in juxtaposition these against real ones to see how the algorithm will work. Living in a data driven world the algorithm is becoming our traditional gate keeper, and love them or hate them they are important, as they influence the way we see our presented world, not only in our media platforms.
