Your Selection of Pralines

Put Your Collection of Objects in a Box

Stiftung für Kunst, Kultur und Geschichte, «Sammlung digital»

Create an application that allows users to select their favorite objects from a GLAM collection. AI creates interesting stories around these objects and invites users to guess which object among the existing ones is invented. A statistic shows how accurate the users’ estimations are.

The goal is to develop an application that allows:

  1. Users to select a few objects from the SKKG collection (see “Sammlung digital”: https://digital.skkg.ch/) and put them virtually in a box of pralines.
  2. The user defines a title for the created box of pralines/objects and defines some more parameters according to a few questions to set the direction for the content description.
  3. AI transforms the objects from the images into 3D models when they are placed in the praline box.
  4. One praline is created by AI and therefore represents an invented object.
  5. For the box and each praline AI generates a description based on the object metadata from “Sammlung digital”, the information added by the user, and further information found in internet sources or in other collection data. So, the generated texts are a mix of facts and storytelling which makes it entertaining to read them.
  6. The application gives users public access to all created chocolate boxes.
  7. A rating functionality allows users to guess which are the pralines that base on an invented object. After submitting the guess for one box, the statistics of what all participants guessed for this box and the correct answer are displayed.
  8. As a plus: Find a way to have the box of praline in physical space and connect it with the application.

If the above-mentioned steps and functionalities are too many to be realized during the hackathon, it is possible to make a selection depending on the ideas and skills of the team.

The challenge owners have a background in Art Education and Art History and know SKKG’s collection data very well.
