Training the Archive aims to accompany and critically scrutinize developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and examine the technology with regard to its application in museum practice. The focus is on the question of whether there are opportunities and risks of AI in relation to the automated structuring of collection data to support curatorial practice. Which ways of collaboration between AI systems and experts are possible and can contribute to more explorative research? Will patterns, connections and associations become recognizable in museum collection data that are not apparent to humans in this form?
In the laboratory-like exhibition, the research project presents its results and provides an insight into the professional debate. In addition to a selection of literature for self-study, all published texts, so-called working papers, of the project are available. Also on display are interviews with international artists, curators and theorists who have made significant contributions to the research field of image production and AI in recent years. The presentation sees itself as a "work in progress" and will continue to develop, exhibit new results or bring together suitable artistic positions.
