(Co-)Creating with AI: The Art Curator’s View
Pioneers of the New Art

AI Revolution: Curators Adapting to the Emergence of AI in Art
Art creation and curation have entered a novel era. Just as paintbrushes once revolutionized the canvas, today, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is (co-)creating an entirely new dimension in artistry. However, with the thrill of these new possibilities come significant challenges and implications that artists and the wider art community need to address.
Artificial Intelligence Shaking Up Traditional Art Curating
A recent panel discussion, titled “Co-creating with AI,” focused on the emerging role of AI in the creation and curation of art. The panelists — artist Suzanne Treister, artist Marguerite Tumour, and researcher Roger Vattenhofer — Moderator: Jeni Fulton,— explored advancements in large language models and image generation tools, such as GPT and DALL·E 2, and their influence on this evolving art landscape.

Melding AI and Human Creativity: A New Era in Art Curating
The panel underscored the blurring line between AI-generated art and human-made art, reshaping our perceptions of creativity. AI, once a mere tool, is now seen as a collaborator, a co-creator, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. The panelists demonstrated how they leveraged AI as a partner in their creative processes, generating unique artistic outcomes that would otherwise be impossible or significantly more challenging to achieve manually.
The Art of Curating in the Age of AI: Understanding the Algorithm
However, the discussion also revealed a glaring gap — the low awareness of the underlying principles of machine learning among the art community. Artists often perceive AI as a mysterious black box, which it indeed can seem like without a basic understanding of machine learning. But to effectively use AI as a co-creator, artists need to deepen their understanding of these principles. Only by doing so can they efficiently navigate the creative possibilities offered by these sophisticated tools and maintain control over the output.

A.I in Art: Ethical Quandaries in Art Curating
Ethical considerations also emerged in the panel discussion. Concerns about the centralization of AI technologies, their accessibility, and the issues of control and ownership were highlighted. As more artists utilize AI tools, these concerns must be addressed to ensure a fair and balanced art landscape, free from undue gatekeeping or monopolization.
The Data — The Art: Transforming the Artistic Landscape with AI
The conversation ended on an optimistic note, envisioning the potential integration of AI art in museums and institutions. There is a growing recognition of AI art, and museums are beginning to respond by hiring curators specifically for digital and AI art. The panelists pointed out that blockchain technology could play a key role in decentralizing art ownership and creation, thus further democratizing the art world.
Dust and Data: The Changing Face of Art Curation in the AI Era
Overall, the panel discussion was a vibrant and enlightening exploration of the potentials and challenges of (co-)creating with AI. However, the conversation needs to be ongoing. Artists need to engage more actively in understanding AI and addressing the ethical implications that come with it.
