	tl;dr: The Art Institute of Chicago's API exposes a `has_not_been_viewed_much` boolean field on artworks, which flags pieces viewed fewer than 200 times on their website since January 1, 2010. The author invites readers to browse these overlooked works.
	HN Discussion: ↑Users sharing specific artworks they discovered and enjoyed through the tool ↑Feeling of reverence or unease about viewing something meant to be overlooked ↑Analogies to similar projects surfacing overlooked content (library books, Forgotify) •Curiosity about the technical implementation of the view-counting field ~Philosophical observation that viewing these works paradoxically removes them from the pool
