Yasemin Keskintepe and Alexa Jeanne Kusber about AI & Museums
AI & Museums – Exploring new forms of Curating
Will we no longer need curators in the future because an algorithm will take over everything? What are the risks and chances of using artificial intelligence? How can AI collaborate with curators to develop a more balanced exhibition programme and what role does play art in understanding AI? We would like to discuss these and other questions in the webinar with Alexa Jeanne Kusber and Yasemin Keskintepe. Users can join live via crowdcast, ask questions and participate in discussions. Participation is free of charge, save your spot here.
