ARTificially Intelligent: Seeing and Searching Collections with Machines

Presented at MuseumNext Digital Summit 2023. I shared about an experiment on National Gallery Singapore's collection to make art more accessible with neural search. As part of the demonstration, I demonstrated how anyone can search their collections with A.I. and argued for open sourcing innovations.

Visit https://erniesg.pubpub.org/ to check out my thoughts on some of the questions raised by the audience. Connect with me if you'd like to use neural search or explore A.I. together! I'm working on developing content for a course titled "Visions of Art" to help creatives, coders and non-technical leadership get started on using A.I. for relevant use cases. Tools and models used: Descript, Stable Diffusion inpainting, Runway Video2Video, Unreal, Cesium, Google Maps API

Week4~5_Field Trip + Analyse Artistic Traditions & Lineages

Art, especially painting, is having a history of documentation. It is because, the days before photography, paintings captured and recorded a scene in time. After the development of photography, painters went through a period of confusion about their own reason of existence, but in the end, they are now recognized as two distinct disciplines.

The topic of the essay I want to talk about in this week's lesson is “Art that humans give meaning”

There is crowd that goes crazy watching a 100 meter run. In today's era of artificial intelligence, there is no need for humans to try to run faster than machines, knowing that if a human and a car run at the same time, the human will lose.  So, humans compete with each other, giving meaning to it, giving awards to whoever runs the fastest 100 meters, giving them a lifetime pension, and giving them media exposure as someone who has raised the status of the country as well. 

This human meaning-making is a way for humans to live with machines, not compete with them, and continue their Economic activity. Therefore, no matter how much the times change, the value of museums will never change. Only humans can know the value of museums, and only humans can create them. And the reason is that art galleries are the places where we can best realize the diverse life values of each individual human being. 

Therefore, we should visit the gallery. It is a space where only one human being, sometimes showing history, sometimes making personal fantasies visible.

On a warm-up trial with the Nikon ZFC in conjunction with a modified Nikon AH-4, to see if I can shoot manually without being encumbered.

I would love to use the Nikon ZFC purely without any straps or accessories if I can help it. But her "weird" design is proving to become a bigger challenge than originally expected.

You see, the Nikon ZFC is designed very closely to resemble a FM2. In fact, with an almost identical width and height between the two, the Nikon ZFC is however, much slimmer in depth, making her much harder to hold single-handedly. In theory, that 100g reduction in weight compared to the Nikon FM2 ought to counteract this poorer ergonomics, but my spoilt-hands just could not tell that difference.

Are we saying that the only unadulterated way to use the Nikon ZFC would be to re-adopt the good-old tradition of using it with both hands? Was that the intention all along? All to slow us down for a greater focus?! To get us to turn our casuality in phototaking to something more intentional?

Frankly, that is probably how Leica rangefinder shooters do it today too. And I am about to have a Eureka moment just about now.

An interesting afterthought indeed...
