The site now has about 20,000 images, each of which is rated to 800 criteria. This allows you to select a work of art similar "genotype" and on the basis of your choice to recommend something else

developers of the new site Art.sy invite you on a fascinating journey through the world of art - from ancient to modern times. The "art genome" aims to entertain and educate. If you love to surf the sites with pictures, you - there. The basis of the system is the same principle as in music portals like Pandora or sites about movies like Netflix. Based on your selection site will recommend others - "if you like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko also try". The site, according to developers, will help to expand horizons and open to beginners unfamiliar names discerning art lovers.

The site now has about 20,000 digitized images of 275 galleries and 50 museums and cultural institutions. Presents a variety of age, techniques and genres - from Willendorf Venus to the sculptures of Louise Bourgeois. Developers of the most difficult to determine the criteria by which to assess each job. These parameters (which are Art.sy called "genes") as a result were about 800. Some are obvious: for example, the era of the creation of work, place of origin, a particular genre, for, abstract or figurative, and so on. However, many of the "genes" of the arts seem to be very subjective - for example, the criterion of "globalization" or "cultural criticism." Further work assessed for each criterion: how much each "gene" (on a scale of 1 to 100) is expressed in a particular product. For example, the work of Warhol "gene pop art" is more pronounced than in the works of his followers. A team of specialists practically manually identified genotype of each work - the car, you see, not trusting determine the percentage of "gene warmth." In the end, this extensive system of criteria is communication, not only between predictably similar work (paintings of one school or one course), but also between products, widely scattered in time, but still have something in common.

For the project art.sy figures are not final values. Among the investors site, in particular, are mentioned: the founder of CSR "Garage" Dasha Zhukova, producer Wendi Murdoch, the founder of the payment system PayPal, Peter Thiel and creator of Twitter, Jack Dorsey. And among the consultants appear, for example, the art dealer Larry Gagosian, Pace Gallery president Marc Glimher, executive director of the site Pandora Joe Kennedy and others.
