Liu RuizhiDescription of a Description Using Apple’s object-recognition technology, photographs of everyday scenes were translated into machine-generated descriptions and embossed as Braille. Presented alongside the original images, these descriptions remain accessible through the same technological system that produced them.

The work examines how images are interpreted, translated, and reconstructed through technological mediation. When the machine’s description diverges from what the viewer sees, the photograph no longer functions as a transparent representation of reality, but as a space where different systems of perception coexist and compete.
