Art-AI: Curating the Machine

Artist and curtator Antonio Roberts will talk about his research into the affect AI and automation is having on the role of curation in the arts.

During 2017, as part of his fellowship at Near Now at Broadway, artist and Curator Antonio Roberts conducted research into the affect AI and automation is having on the role of curation in the arts.

In this presentation Antonio will present his research, which asks questions about the specific roles of curators and whether an AI can be used to fully automate an exhibition. This will culminate in a proposal for a Curator AI that he aims to develop in the near future.

Near Now Fellowship: Meet the Fellows

Between May 2017 and March 2018, our third Fellowship cohort will work as part of the Near Now Studio, undertaking a tailored programme that will support them to research and create ambitious new work, reach new audiences and progress their careers.

Join us for pizza and drinks (on us!) and help celebrate the start of a successful Fellowship.

Each Fellow will give a brief introduction to their work and share some early insights into their inspirations and ambitions for their Fellowship. Followed by a chance to ask questions about their practices, hang out, chat, and hopefully make some new friends.
