Who would have thought that a binary system is also capable of coming up with its own conclusion on something that is as abstract as art? If that is the case, then perhaps both art and science have more in common than what I have thought of all this while. Why did I come to this particular deduction? Well, it looks like scientists have successfully developed a robot that is full well capable of forming its own opinions concerning art – in other words, a robotic art critic.

Imagine yourself admiring the Mona Lisa over at the Louvre, and all of a sudden, you feel the brush of cold metal by your arm. Turning to it, you see a robot that looks as though it is thinking, as its binary bits start to process Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece before it makes a tilt of its head and tells you that the piece is beautiful in its own right, but needs some working on where the smile is concerned.

Ain’t that rather weird? Actually, the robot has been programmed to obtain a human crowd’s response to work of art before using all of that collected data as a “based” so that it can come up with its very own “artificial taste.” Well, with robots being able to transform selfies into line drawn art, why not let them critique art as well, right?
