Ich kuratiere, also bin ich (nicht)*. Ein Gedankenaustausch mit einer KI über die Ausstellung „AND OR or NOT“
designforum Wien
26.6.–13.9.2025
Künstliche Intelligenz ist aus unserem Alltag kaum mehr wegzudenken. In vieler Hinsicht praktisch, zumutbar, gesellschaftlich akzeptiert. Als Mitgestalterin im kreativen Prozess hingegen stößt KI auf Kritik. Sie sei eine „Bedrohung für die Kreativität“. Das ist kein neuer Diskurs. Computer kamen schon in den 1950ern im Kunstkontext zum Einsatz, und schon damals stieß digitale Kunst auf Ablehnung. Aber technologische Entwicklungen lassen sich nicht stoppen. Sollten wir den Moment nicht vielmehr nutzen, um ein Zeitalter Post-Techparanoia zu definieren?

Gagosian
30.9.–21.12.2019
Entering the exhibition space of the Gagosian is a very formal experience. Almost as if entering a ‘sacred’ temple, the viewer is overwhelmed with the purity of the exhibition layout. The artefacts are positioned individually with a respectful amount of distance between each other. Walking through the exhibition the viewer encounters the individual pieces, one after the other, without the urge to compare them. The space dominates in white, with some individual works highlighting a tint of colour, distracting attention, breaking up the journey through the space and dictating how to read it.
