On his blog, Mr. Richardson explains that the camera snaps a picture, then sends it to Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, a service in which humans are paid a small sum to do jobs that computers cannot solve, like describing the contents of a picture.

This Camera Doesn’t Take Pictures. It Describes Them.

Cherine Fahd has uploaded a series of photographs of the student work exhibited in “Alternate Realities”.
