Gallery Associate/Moderator, The Next Biennal Should Be Curated by a Machine (Title of project for Liverpool Biennale), Art talk, Wei-Ling Contemporary

The Next Biennial Should be Curated by a Machine explores the connection between artificial intelligence (AI) and curating. In order to rethink curating as a self-learning human-machine system, the project takes the form of a series of experiments investigating the application of machine learning techniques (a subset of AI) to the curation of large-scale contemporary art exhibitions.

Wei-Ling Contemporary invited Prof. Luzius Bernhard (URBERMORGEN) to discuss the potential of Artificial Intelligence in shifting the way we engage with art, especially from the perspective of gallerists, curators, producers, and other behind-the-scene roles. Moderated by Amanda, the art talk proposes the question: what would happen if we use AI to help us create? Prof. Luzius Bernhard takes The Next Biennal Should Be Curated by a Machine as an example of curating with AI. The experimental project took the Liverpool Biennial 2021 edition as a case study to explore machine curation and visitor interaction with artworks already selected for the Biennial by its curator, using data from the biennial exhibition as its source.
