Image Description and Restaging

Using the tags of objects of the Google Vision API to describe the picture:

Fred2 This piece of photography shows the dark night sky with a long white cloud stretching across, a star shining bright behind it. Under the sky, between the wooden branches of a tree, spans a thin layer of grass, bathed in yellow sunlight, insects on it grazing peacefully. In the distance the grass turns into water - an ocean maybe. It is a macro photography of a rare meteorological plant phenomenon.

Li2 In the darkness of space lives a rare black-and-white organism. While floating through the sky it changes its shape and nature ceaselessly. For a long time it was believed to be a plant, a flower maybe or just a petal. But recent endeavors in still life Photography, have revealed it to be a hand as well as a scarf.


Carlos2 This is most definitely a performance. A musician in the flesh acting as a fictional character, an action figure. Or a fictional character, pretending to be a musician who pretends to be an action figure. Or a piece of flesh pretending to be a hand, pretending to be a fictional character. Anyway, quite defenitely some sort of performance.

Restaging:

  • Step1: Staging text that resulted from describing pictures with the tags and objects from the google vision API - (what happened yesterday)
  • Step2: taking a picture and have it again tagged by the google API
  • Step3: Write a description of the new picture using the new tags/objects that the google API spit out.

Results:

First Picture: _Fred2_restaging_1 Description: Lighting caught by still life photography.

Second Picture: _Fred2_restaging_2 Description: On stage, a human body made out of pure lighting. Performance art at it’s best!

—> Has the angle/perspective of the camera an effect on what the google API recognizes? The second picture uses a camera angle which is more auf Augenhöhe - does the API therefore recognize a human body?

Result: _Carlos2_restaging Description: An endless line of yellow road forms into wing-shaped piece of architecture under the night sky. Alas - is it all not more than packaged goods?

—> What would happen if we restaged that now?
