Services such as Netflix and Pandora have revolutionized how we consume movies and music. Now one company is trying to do the same for art. Melena Ryzik reported:

• If you go to Netflix then it recommends other movies for you to watch based on your preferences. Currently there’s nothing similar for art: a site which can recommend other pieces of art for you to enjoy based on recorded preferences.
• Art.sy is aiming to fill this gap. It has worked with various museums and institutions to put together some of the world’s most famous art.
• Each piece of art is rated on a scale of 1-100 on various categories such as “Renaissance”. Algorithms then use this information and information about your preferences to recommend art work.
