Creative AI as a medium in artistic and curatorial practice

人工智能等先进技术对企业界产生了变革性的影响，而文化部门在获得足够的媒体素养方面进展缓慢。这已经成为当代艺术机构的一个问题，因为人工智能，特别是机器学习，已经成为当代艺术家的创造性媒介，而策展人和与当代文化合作的文化机构也需要发挥重要作用，将这项技术的社会影响转化为批判性的回应。为了了解使用创造性人工智能处理艺术品的文化机构所需的媒体素养，该项目将通过从媒体和技术研究的角度进行参与性观察，分析Serbian画廊提供的数字委托的复杂生态，从而为艺术画廊研究做出贡献。鉴于这项技术的社会影响，需要使用创造性人工智能对艺术品做出批判性和创造性的回应。利用由Serbian Galleries和KCL发起的创意人工智能实验室作为与其他文化机构，艺术家以及技术制作人进行访谈的平台，该项目的成果将有助于理解媒体研究中的创意人工智能，并为文化机构提供指导和最佳实践。

Advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence have had a transformational impact on the corporate world, while the cultural sector has been slow to acquire an adequate media literacy. This has become an issue for contemporary art institutions due to the fact that Artificial Intelligence, especially machine learning, has become a creative medium for contemporary artists, while curators and cultural institutions working with contemporary culture also need to fulfil the important role to translate the societal impact this technology into a critical response. To understand the media literacy needed in cultural institutions working with artworks using creative AI, this project will analyse the complex ecology of digital commissions delivered by the Serpentine Galleries through participatory observation from a media and technology studies perspective thereby contributing to art gallery studies. A critical and creative response of artworks using creative AI is needed given the societal impact of this technology. Using the Creative AI lab initiated by the Serpentine Galleries and KCL as a platform to acquire interviews with other cultural institutions, artists, but also technology producers, the outcome of this project will contribute to the understanding of creative AI in media studies and also to deliver guidance and best practice for cultural institutions.
