OSCILLDRAW_NotRecognized, 2017

OSCILLDRAW_NotRecognized, by the Basel-based American artist Ted Davis, uses the online tool Quick, Draw!, an experimental project developed by Google in which a neural network tries to recognize objects drawn by users. The project aims to help improve machine learning in the field of drawing recognition, worldwide. Davis takes drawings that Google’s artistic intelligence cannot recognize and incorporates them into his work, reproducing them using analog oscillographs. User-defined software that the artist developed converts the drawings into audio signals that are fed into the oscilloscope in XY mode and reproduce the image. For this work, which is based on a large-scale research project involving millions of participants worldwide, Davis translates the results back into an aesthetic form reminiscent of early computer graphics.
