Big Look Art

Profile of Company

Big Look Art is an online education and investment platform for private and corporate art collectors and artists.

Problem to be Solved

Big Look Art has been creating an online learning platform for artists and now wants to leverage this know-how to create and train an AI model for the purpose of having an algorithm that suggest specific artworks to art collectors based on their interests and tastes. This algorithm will then be applied to a large aggregated data set of artists and artworks mapped to a local artist eco-system.

The key problems to solve:

• Create and train an AI model that respects the copyright of individual artists
• AI classification model to align artworks with collectors.

How ICS Technology Gateway delivered a solution

Walton Institute helped Big Look Art by looking at different methodologies to create and train an AI model and develop an API to serve Big Looks current and future use cases.

In order to create an accurate model, a large dataset will be needed. This will be secured by crawling and scraping publicly available records from multiple sources.

The solution was delivered by

• Artificial Intelligence/AI Models/API
• Innovation/Technology Audit
• Technical Development
• Innovation Methodology
• User Experience and Multi actor approach expertise
• Use case analysis
