Art.sy’s suggestion engine model is easy enough to swallow, but Google’s new Search by Image feature imagines something more revolutionary: computer-assisted curation.
Now, we’re not there yet.
The images accompanying this post are the ten images Google Image Search found to be “most relevant” [for me] to Duncan Alexander’s Brion Gysin Internet Circulation Project, and it’s apparent that visual similarities are still far more heavily weighted than semantic information.
So what, exactly, would be necessary to turn this indexing and organizing into curation?
