The Museum in the Age of Algorithms
The talk The Museum in the Age of Algorithms held at the National Gallery of Denmark April, 2023.
How can data and algorithms be used as a strategic management tool in museums? How can artists broaden our understanding of data, considering it to be collective and relational – something that always emerges in relationships between people and how there are always those who contribute and those who collect and interpret data, emphasizing the need to be mindful of the power exercised in handling data.
By being aware of these structures, museums have an exciting starting point to establish a foundation for implementing algorithms and AI and to pave the way for a future where the use of algorithms don’t have to equate to exploitation but instead have the potential to express diversity and justice.
