Because of what I've been playing with in my digital art, I found this interesting. I origionally printed and then edited my works. Never went this far though. Pondering if I should. The last paragraph, below, takes it to a next level discussion. I think.
"According to the gallery statement, Bickel’s research “assesses how Google Vision API […] would impact the fate of climate reporting due to current labeling production design.” If a computer doesn’t recognize that an image represents an effect of climate change, then is it even happening? What if our perception becomes so distorted that we no longer see the extent to which a digital hegemony is shaping our physical world? While Bickel’s research may attempt to answer the first question, her art responds to the second with a mesmerizing and uneasy open-endedness."
