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

'Cloud Face' is a collection of cloud images that are recognized as human faces by AI. It is a result of the AI’s error. Humans also see faces from some of the images, but humans don’t think of them as actual faces. Humans rather imagine faces from the clouds. 'Cloud Face' explores the error and imagination of AI and humans.
