I’m happy to share that I will be part of S+T+ARTS Hungry EcoCities’ 2nd Open Call, working with Protiberia to develop Quiet Storm: Music for Insects, raising awareness on the future of food through art-science experimentation!
Next week I will visit Protiberia in Villamalea, Spain and also meet the Studio Other Spaces team

MDPIA Reference Architecture for Virtual Human Integration in the Metaverse: Enhancing the Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) Sector with AI-Driven ExperiencesThe digital transformation of the GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) sector is a multifaceted process that must address a range of requirements and critical challenges, such as traceability, long-term preservation, and sustainability. The potential of disruptive technologies to revolutionize this sector is significant, offering new ways to overcome these challenges and align with the broader objectives of smart cities. While substantial research has been conducted on the digital transformation of the GLAM sector, many opportunities remain unexplored by various stakeholders. This paper contributes to the field by proposing a reference architecture rooted in a design-oriented approach for developing and implementing processes related to the digital transformation within the context of smart cities. To illustrate the practical application of the proposed architecture, a proof of concept was developed in the form of an immersive digital gallery, which features an AI-powered virtual storyteller. The gallery, built using the open, cross-platform, Unreal, incorporates digitized physical art and a virtual metahuman tutor who guides users through the gallery. This interactive 3D environment enables users to explore the space, engage with artworks, and interact with a virtual guide. The environment’s performance was evaluated using a keystroke-level model analysis. Key findings from a pilot study involving 10 users showed that, when directed by the AI storyteller, the average time to locate an artwork was 16.5 s, while the average time to ask a question was 15.8 s. By integrating such technologies, the GLAM sector can contribute to the cultural fabric of smart cities, fostering more sustainable, accessible, and interactive public spaces.

Today 6 Sep 2024 I'll be joining a panel at Ars Electronica (State of the Archive: Current Approaches to Digital Archives and Archives for Digital [Art]), organised by Vanessa Hannesschläger, I’ll announce the Distributed Archive project which allows to simultaneously search the Neural and V2_ websites and archive, an outcome of the The Alex Adriaansens Residency I’ve been awarded in 2023 and join the discussion on “current approaches to digitizing, preserving and (subsequently) presenting cultural heritage” with Katharina Pektor, Sandra Sonnleitner, and Chiara Zuanni. The panel takes place at POSTCITY, First Floor, Lecture Stage, between 15:00 – 16:00.

At the Christie’s Art + Tech Summit in NYC for the next couple of days. Some fascinating panels on #ai in art, that are so far almost totally bereft of any real skepticism about the present-day effects on working artists. The tools are exciting, of course, and we should talk about that, but there’s another side to this conversation too. #arttechsummit #christies #arttech

Continued thread

Leveraging IBM Watson's artificial intelligence, Melanie Fahden and Anja Gebauer‘s participatory project aims to reverse perspectives and explore narratives beyond traditional constructs. As museums embrace AI, maintaining a critical, discrimination-aware approach becomes crucial, emphasizing the need for continual learning and engagement. #ArtTech #AIinEducation #MuseumInnovation
