Art or Not 1.0

Art or Not presents an innovative approach to art evaluation, employing AI technology to assess whether visual stimuli qualify as ‘art’ based on its extensive knowledge of over 100,000 artworks. This application aims to demystify the art critique process through machine learning and image analysis.

How it works:

The application utilizes machine learning algorithms to deconstruct captured images into significant features. These attributes are analyzed by the app’s AI, which ultimately determines if the image fits its criteria for ‘art’.

Usage instructions:

• Launch the app, capture an image, and receive the AI critic's evaluation.
• The application serves as a discovery tool, presenting visually similar works from esteemed institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Art Institute of Chicago.
• Users can tailor the AI critic’s demeanor by selecting between "Mean" and "Chill".
• Share your discoveries on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram.

Comparison with human art critics:

While Art or Not provides assessments based solely on visual inputs, human art critics incorporate a wide array of factors, including cultural context and the artist's background. This distinction highlights the limitations of AI in understanding the nuanced aspects of art critique. Nonetheless, this endeavor marks a significant step forward in the evolution of art evaluation, with potential for future advancements in AI capabilities.
