A Visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art

PRINT AS PDF

On Saturday, July 12, I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The primary goal was to use an iPhone for photos (lower resolution than my camera) and then test the ability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to swap out reflections from the glass that enclosed exhibits, people behind artifacts, lighting issues, etc. The idea was to feature the artifact against a simple (usually black) background.

Below is a before-and-after for one of the statues. Afterward, I provide a few photos from elsewhere in the Museum.
