"Un océano de libros": un genial experimento de Google que te ayudará a encontrar libros y autores que encajan con tus gustos

"Un océano de libros": un genial experimento de Google que te ayudará a encontrar libros y autores que encajan con tus gustos

Santi Araújo

A lo largo de los últimos años, Google Arts & Culture ha ido lanzando una serie de " experimentos " que nos permiten interactuar con todo tipo de obras desde la comodidad de nuestra casa.

Un nuevo experimento, bautizado como ' An Ocean of Books ' ( un océano de libros ), nos invita a navegar por cientos de miles de obras, en el que "cada isla representa a un autor y cada ciudad representa un libro".

An Ocean Of Books

Islas, ciudades y cientos de miles de libros

Es una especie de Google Earth para los amantes de la literatura, y sus creadores aseguran que se trata de " un experimento poético en el que esperamos que te pierdas durante un buen rato".

El diseño de esta web es uno de sus puntos fuertes , ya que recuerda a antiguos mapas cartográficos. Cuando empezamos a Explorar este mapamundi literario, veremos que está dividido por distintos continentes :

  • Arte y entretenimiento
  • Religión y creencias

An Ocean Of Books

Al acercarnos o hacer click en cada uno de estos grandes grupos veremos una serie de puntitos de color claro. Estas son las islas de cada autor , y si seguimos haciendo zoom en cada una de ellas veremos sus principales ciudades (obras).

An Ocean Of Books

Es genial que parezcan islas reales , pudiendo admirar el relieve de cada una de ellas. Otro aspecto importantísimo es que al lado veremos otras islas (autores) cercanas, algo que es ideal si estamos buscando obras similares a algunas de nuestras preferidas.

An Ocean Of Books

"Cada uno de los autores del mapa no están posicionados al azar, ni a mano. Hemos calculado la distancia entre cada uno de ellos, basado en su compleja relación en la red. A partir de estos valores, generamos posiciones bidimensionales para todos los autores, gracias a una técnica de aprendizaje automático llamada Aproximación y Proyección de Múltiples Uniformes (UMAP). Finalmente, se asignó una isla a cada autor, haciendo coincidir el tamaño de la isla con la presencia del autor en la web".

Si pulsamos en cualquiera de las obras se abrirá una especie de pergamino en el lateral, con una breve sinopsis (en inglés) de ese libro. En la parte inferior de la web encontraremos un buscador, en el que poder introducir tanto autores como el nombre de los libros.

An Ocean Of Books

Tienen razón los creadores de esta gigantesca web, ya que he acabado perdido en un mar de autores y obras, y es la típica web que merece la pena guardar en favoritos para visitarla de vez en cuando.

Boost your cultural learning and discovery this summer with four new experiments that explore fun ways technology and digital play can expand access to arts and culture online. It's created by our artists in residence and with a new collaboration with the Cleveland Museum of Art.

One Sound, Two Frames

Discover art through music, and match the AI generated music to the correct artwork. One Sound, Two Frames was created by Google Arts & Culture Lab artist in residence Emmanuel Durgoni in collaboration with Research Scientist Timo Denk from Google DeepMind.

Timo built an image-to-music technology with Google AI that analyzes art, describes it, then uses that description to generate music that matches the artwork. As part of his residency, Emmanuel is exploring playful interactions that aid our discovery of artworks on Google Arts and Culture. Emmanuel was inspired by Timo’s research and created a playful interface that invites the viewer to look at artworks in greater detail to make sure they match the correct artwork to the music that they are hearing.

One Minute Guides

Are you a fashionista? A Foodie? Or perhaps a romantic? Maybe an athlete? With One Minute Guides , you can learn about art through the lens of your favorite hobbies. This experiment provides a personalized exploration of six major art movements on Google Arts & Culture, from Romanticism to Art Nouveau to Manga, with the help of Google AI.

We are also introducing a special edition of One Minute Guides with the Cleveland Museum of Art. Working with their Open Access API and Google’s multimodal model Gemini, we have collaborated to pilot a new way for you to engage with their collections of Sculpture, Chinese Art, Furniture, Decorative Art and Textiles.

Created by Google Arts & Culture Lab artist in residence Jack Wild, the starting point for this experiment was to ask: can Google AI help turn vast amounts of unstructured text into accessible short art guides for the public based on popular interest areas? With One Minute Guides, Google AI helps us surface interesting information hidden within the Google Arts & Culture collection tailored to your interest areas: whether you're a romantic who loves Ukiyo-e or a Nature lover who can't get enough of Romanticism, we've got you covered.

Explore art guides tailored to your interests with the help of Google AI

What the Art ?

Embark on a solo adventure, or gather up to 8 friends and family for a lively multiplayer showdown in an Art-inspired party game created in collaboration with French indie studio La Belle Games. In What The Art? , each player takes turns assuming the role of the artist, tasked with sketching a well-known artwork on a digital canvas. The other players, watching the artist's strokes in real-time, must race against time to identify the artwork from a selection of 10 options. The quickest to identify the artwork earns the most points. From the masterpieces of the Renaissance to the groundbreaking works of modern art, you'll encounter a diverse array of artistic expressions that will spark your imagination.

Race against the clock to guess the artwork being drawn

Daily Gallery

Every day, Daily Gallery presents you with an empty room and a new delivery of art pieces and exciting furnishings to fill it with. Unleash Your Inner Designer as you curate and decorate your own unique and ever-expanding gallery, discovering countless masterpieces along the way from the collections of Google Arts & Culture partners. Return each day to uncover new artworks and furnishings, share your best rooms and keep returning to unlock Golden Rooms where you can curate something extra special using all of the artworks you've received before. Created in collaboration with Danish studio Set Snail.

Grow your own unique gallery over time

All of these experiments and many more can be found in the ‘Play’ Tab on the Google Arts & Culture website and app (available now on Android and iOS ). Have fun!
