A man with dark hair and a sunset in the background is Paulius Petraitis’ exploration of machine learning and image interpretation software. Processing images taken by the artist through Microsoft’s Azure cloud processing platform, Petraitis tracked his images, their analysis and resulting captions (Azure is a system which names parts of attempts and ventures a more complex descriptive reading), in a project which explores algorithmic confidence and the machinic construction of signification.
