16、image had human programmers-a Parisian art collective called Obvious, Christies reported.

To create the port

17、rait, the Obvious team first fed the network a diet of 15,000 images painted between the 14th and 20th centuries, to train it to recognize visual elements in fine art, Obvious artists Hugo Caselles-Dupre told Christies.
