CAPTION THIS/PICTURE THIS

“Caption This” screengrabs a glitch of Google Translate.

Google engineers have trained a machine-learning algorithm to write picture captions using the same techniques it developed for language translation.

“.. But what if we instead merged recent computer vision and language models into a single jointly trained system, taking an imageand directly producing a human readable sequence of words to describe it?

This idea comes from recent advances in machine translation between languages, where a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)
transforms, say, a French sentence into a vector representation, and a second RNN uses that vector representation to generate a target sentence in German.” – Google Blog

L’AQUILA E LA RANA

2014
newspaper artist book
10 €






According to several scientific studies, hundreds of frogs deserted theirmating place in the days before the 2009 earthquake in L’Aquila, Italy. An ancient legend attributed the occurrence of an earthquak to the jumps of a giant frog, carrying the Earth on its back.  Zheng Heng, Chinese scientist, invented in 132 a seismograph, called Didong Yi, at the base of which eight frogs were represented.

L’Aquila e La Rana was produced during an artist residency in L'Aquila, Italy, and was recently developed with an interactive digital corollary (The Eagle and The Toad).
As an experiment of bestiary in the book-format of a newspaper, the artist book investigates in what terms the prevision of natural phenomena, synchronicity and the imaginary (The Frog) are related to the vision of the natural world, real time and documentary (The Eagle).
