Hugo nominee Ben Rosenbaum sez, "My friend Ethan Ham (a CUNY art professor) and I were hired by the Present Group ('like a mutual-fund that produces art instead of profits') to do Internet-based art. We created a limited-edition series of art books containing a set of interlinked stories based on images found by a facial-recognition algorithm trolling Flickr for Ethan's face. The images we chose are false-positive faces — ghost faces the robot saw where there aren't any. We've put the content of the books online under a CC license."
The robot watches the pictures we take.
The robot is simple.

(Thanks, Ben!)
