I've Seen That Before

It would be interesting to let a neural network scan objects and categorize them to make metaphorical associations for making abstract art.

An AI trained in art history might see the elevator doors as two joined canvases. I thought of Barnett Newman's Zips.

Here are some screenshots from a video on object recognition and some abstract artworks that look like something, or were the product of the what the artist saw and conceptualized.
