Machines and algorithms have a perception of the world that differs from ours. Tom White decided to question this mechanical gaze, increasingly present in our daily lives. Thanks to an algorithmic drawing technique he has developed, he allows an artificial intelligence to produce images that are abstract for humans but have meaning for machines, notably the moderation algorithms of large platforms, in addition to the cold and austere images that we commonly attribute to the mechanical gaze, the abstract and colorful forms produced by this type of artificial intelligence developed by Tom White allow us to rethink our relationship with machines and better understand the way they perceive the world.
