Training the Archive is a research project that
explores the possibilities and risks of AI in
relation to the automated structuring of museum
collection data to support curatorial practice
and artistic production.
New: Two video interviews

Magda Tyzlik-Carver explores the webs of
relationships between humans and the non-human of
software and algorithms. In doing so, she ties
into the concepts of the "post-human" and talks
about automated curatorial actors, i.e.
algorithms, bots, software and computing
infrastructure.

Adam Harvey states: "I don't think, it's possible
to destroy the complete face detection/computer
vision existing infrastructure, and nor do I
want to. But to limit its growth and limit its
dangerous potential to grow and know more and
more about who you are and what you're looking
at, how you're moving, and with who you around."

Curation and its Statistical Automation by means
of Artificial 'Intelligence' by Francis Hunger
The text examines several projects as case
studies that approach curation using artificial
'intelligence': The Next Biennial Should Be
Curated by a Machine from UBERMORGEN, Leonardo
Impett and Joasia Krysa (2021), Tillmann Ohm's
project Artificial Curator (2020),
and #Exstrange by Rebekah Modrak and Marialaura
Ghidini et. al. (2017)
The Curator's Machine: Clustering of Museum
Collection Data through Annotation of Hidden
Connection Patterns between Artworks by Dominik
Bönisch
Machine Learning can reveal connections and links
between artworks, which previously became
accessible to the curator only incompletely or
with difficulty. The text presents a first
Prototype
Would be great if you'd look at it.
