Myriad (Tulips)

This is an artwork installation reflecting datasets by Anna Ridler. It's made up of 10,000 polaroid photographs of tulips taken by the artist over the course of the tulip season, with each one hand labelled.

 

Each tulip is different. This photo shows 425 of them. The images become an AI training data set - the information given to an algorithm to learn and recognise. A winner of a Beazley Designs of the Year Award 2019, exhibited at the Design Museum, London.

 

While it shows the human aspect behind machine learning, it suggests that AI is benign and harmless, which is far from the case.
