Artist Hito Steyerl will be giving the first Keynote at 7pm (AEST) on Tuesday to launch ‘Critical AI in the Art Museum’ – a series of discursive events happening over the next month; artist and writer James Bridle will be closing the event. The series will address questions of politics and praxis in contemporary art relating to the current “AI Spring” at a time of political, economic and environmental crisis. Further panels address the future of the commons in an age of extractive AI; on the limits of curatorial knowledge/education; and a final session (TBC) on ‘Bodies, Data, Models, Publics’ that will address the socio-technical politics of data, tracking and analytics both inside and outside the museum.
Hito Steyerl will develop her arguments from her New Left Review article on ‘Mean Images’ on the political economy of AI, in a talk titled ‘Subprime Visibility’.
James Bridle will present his arguments from ‘Ways of Being’ and his work addressing more-than-human/other intelligences.
