The artwork deals with a person’s ability to create meaningful entities from their observations, with the help of which they can understand the world. The artwork entices the viewer to think about what he/she sees in the artwork and what kind of interpretations he/she makes of what he sees. Through a artwork made by hands, insights and new worlds of understanding open up for the human viewer. But how does a machine’s intelligence, which is based on codes instead of sensory perceptions, understand the same artwork? The artwork participates in the discussion about the nature and differences between human intelligence and artificial intelligence.
