Humans see figures in clouds: animals, faces and even gods. This kind of perception also appears in machine vision. Face-detection algorithms sometimes find faces where there are not any.

'Cloud Face' is a compilation of cloud images that AI identifies as human faces, a phenomenon born out of AI's error. While humans may also perceive faces in some of these images, they don't regard them as actual faces. Instead, humans tend to imagine faces within the clouds. 'Cloud Face' explores the error and imagination of AI and humans.
