The Art Genome Project

It was only a matter of time before somebody took the basic idea from The Music Genome Project (which powers Pandora) and applied to other media.

Art.sy, the new recommendation service of art is building its Art Genome project:

"Art.sy is powered by The Art Genome Project, an ongoing study of the characteristics that distinguish and connect works of art. Art.sy evaluates artworks along 700+ characteristics (we call them genes)—such as art-historical movements, subject matter, and formal qualities—to create a powerful search experience that reflects the multifaceted aspects of works of art."
