Title: Perception Engines Artist: Tom WhiteFrom: US Medium: L PrintsFirst, White nudges the algorithms to ‘sketch’ lines, blobs and shades that make a simple drawing.Then an AI algorithm trained on countless images of a physical object, let’s say an electric fan, transforms the initial ‘sketch’ into an abstract representation of the physical object i.e the electric fan. The abstract image
