E-Space presents... Picasso Cat“Rembrandt's use of chiaroscuro heightens the sense of ...”, -- oh, ok, I'll learn about art tomorrow, right after I open this book on quantum mechanics and start preparing for a marathon... And yet another day for the ivory tower of art to be unassailable.
Our goal is turn learning about art history and famous paintings into a game, based on cats, of course: imagine you are given two cats pictures (on the left in the first figure), can you figure out which one resembles the style of Van Gogh? Or maybe you can have a look at a series of cats pictures and find a pattern (the pictures on the left in the first figure)? Does it resemble a famous painting? Like someone carrying flowers maybe? What we know for sure: people love cats. So come for cats, stay for art. Picasso Cat was one of the winner projects of the E-Space Photography hackathon Hack Your Photo Heritage in Leuven (February 2016) and was further developed during the E-Space Business Modelling Workshop series.
