The Camera, Transformed by Machine Learning

Since the advent of the camera, the interaction of user/device has evolved into a complex series of choices that allow for artistic opportunities. One can take advantage of sensor options, such as in long exposure photography. While exploring one may run into the limitations of a sensor, which can be technical, such as max distance on a depth camera, to phenomenal. The influx of machine learning tools allow for the relationship between operator and camera to change. Limits such as a regular photograph being flat are surpassed with relative ease. The question of what the photographer is collecting becomes a focus. Is it an unprocessed data set to be used? Furthermore, a duchampian relationship with AI becomes apparent, questioning whether the AI is the photographer, or the one who frames the camera the AI uses, and the degree of collaboration between the two.
