AESTHETICA MAGAZINE: Endless Possibility [YOLO (work in progress)]

Disgrifiad

Yolo County, California, is home to a community of 250,000 bats that migrate each summer and nest under a bridge. Here, autonomous cars identify objects using a laser remote sensing system, inspired by bat ultrasound. These vehicles are fitted with a “You Only Look Once” machine learning model, which is trained on 1,000 images extracted from videos of these nocturnal creatures. Inspired by this link between AI and animal intelligence, visual artist Lisa Barnard (b. 1967) created this series by working with the California YOLO. It’s a testament to the face that computers will never really be able to imitate nature’s evolution.
