Curating Superintelligences. A reader on AI and Future Curating.
A new open-access publication in the DATA browser series, edited by Joasia Krysa and Magdalena Tyżlik-Carver and published by Open Humanities Press.
Curating Superintelligences examines how computational technologies, rapid developments in AI, and the reassertion of subaltern knowledges are reshaping the contemporary curatorial field. It poses questions about the implications of these “super-intelligences” for contemporary art and culture, and the new possibilities for curatorial practice and its future forms.
The book situates curating in the context of broader discussions, from literary to computer science perspectives, and the histories of computational curating, those known and less known, to the pervasiveness of the term “curating”. Against this backdrop, the book addresses topics including the convergence of AI and creative practices, new institutional infrastructures and economic models, emerging research areas and methods, and alternative curatorial forms.
The book was launched at the Generative Curation Symposium, held at Centre Pompidou Málaga on 28-29 January.
Edited by Joasia Krysa and Magdalena Tyżlik-Carver, the volume features contributions from Dominik Boenisch, Maria Laura Ghidini, Olga Goriunova, Francis Hunger, Eva Jäger, Nathan Jones, Jason Edward Lewis, Mikhel Proulx, Nicolas Malevé, Livia Rozsás, Alasdair Milne, Helen Pritchard, Tom Schofield, Skawennati, Sam Skinner, Katrina Sluis, Gaia Tedone, Suzanne Treister, Elvia Vasconcelos, Ashley Lee Wong, Mi You, Martin Zeilinger, and Gary Zhexi Zhang.
