The images from this resource pool are presented on a screen 9 at a time; from these, the robot, via a software algorithm, is able to make a selection of one or more of them that fit its curatorial criteria. Once selected the robot prints label stickers for each of the tags associated with the chosen images. This system represents the curator. Anyone is able to add images into the resource pool by uploading them to Flickr and ensuring certain tags are added to the image. You may also vote on any images displayed on the website, by sending an SMS to the system. These votes are then fed back into the system and inform the future choices of the 'curator'. These 2 mechanisms represent the notion of hacking the curatorial system. A robotic curator is able to select images from Flickr using a preselected set of tags.
