One Artist's Search For The Soul Of Google's Artificial Intelligence

With its machine learning algorithms, the company's various tools and apps can identify people, places, and things–even if you've just drawn a bad sketch. Called Google's Eyes, the sculpture is now on view at the Science Gallery Dublin, where it's part of the exhibition Humans Need Not Apply, which closes on May 21st. With the 20 gray, ceramic pieces arranged in a line, they almost appear like muted children's toys. But the method by which they were created–through Google's machine vision technology and Bolink's image curation and skill with ceramics–tells a different story. Bolink likes to take apart objects and put them back together in unusual ways.
