meg + kunst: Kunst, kunstig intelligens og digital kunstformidling

The article refers to the digital art mediation project KURATERT (eng: CURATED) aimed at young people, and the prototype me + art in particular. Using artificial intelligence, me + art facilitates an exploration of art through the user’s own private photographs, uploaded from their own mobile phone. The work is situated within the ongoing shift in art and art mediation from object to viewer, from dialogue as a method to dialogue as a situation, and ‘prosumer’ as a new spectator role. The aim of this article is to direct attention to a space of opportunity, where theoretical perspectives on the potential of art are applied creatively and experimentally, along with new digital technology. And finally, what opportunities do we miss out on if we do not enter this space of opportunity of digital art mediation, where young people are co-creators and art mediation becomes part of the larger ecology of digital production, sharing and consumption of visual expressions that surrounds us.
