We are a collective of seasoned professionals and practitioners in the field of art management, dedicated to exploring the dynamic intersection of art management and technology. Our research group is deeply engaged in the following key areas:
Our primary focus is on extensive applied research into trends in art management, especially those influenced by new technologies. We are not just researchers; we are educators and catalysts for innovative ideas and projects. Our mission is to educate, initiate, and accelerate projects that push the boundaries of art management.
The main goals of our group also include expanding the knowledge base of art management within creative practices and processes, providing the art management community and humanities with innovative digital tools, and fostering a community of artist-thinkers who explore the complex conjunctions of art, culture, and technology.
We collaborate with artists, curators, and art managers who experiment with new technologies. Our aim is to develop comprehensive research, insightful reports, online residencies, exhibitions, workshops, and funding proposals that arise from both individual practices and collective concerns.
At the heart of our intellectual and operational framework lies our commitment to rigorous research. We strive to ensure that our inquiries and findings are of significant value to international art society. Our research often operates in interdisciplinary fields, encouraging an intuitive, critical, or subversive use of new technologies in art creation and management.
Projects
AI Hokusai is an ArtTech Research Project that, inspired by the methodology proposed in the 19th century by the Japanese artist and art educator Hokusai, invites international artists working in various media to experiment with artificial intelligence.
The project takes place online in the form of a residency/laboratory. During 3 months, it will combine an intensive internal program of applied workshops for selected artists, with an open public program that includes discussions and masterclasses.
While the artists explore generative AI tools to create artworks for a final exhibition, the organizers will conduct a research study, by observing and analyzing the process from diverse optics: cultural, technological, anthropological, and philosophical points of view.
The results of this whole work constitute the basis of a research publication. This paper will reunite the experience of artists, invited experts, and organizers’ analysis to contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of artificial intelligence in the context of art, culture, and human heritage.
Intersection of Art Management and Technology:
We delve into the synergies between art management practices and emerging technologies, focusing on the impact and opportunities they present.
Digital Humanities:
We investigate how digital tools and methods are transforming the humanities, particularly in the realm of art and cultural management.
Currently, we work on the following interrelated initiatives:
Online Residency/Laboratory: An incubator for collaborative research
Reports: Producing a series of reports that will culminate in a comprehensive book.
Research: Conducting in-depth studies and analyses in our field.
Education: Offering educational content through live online sessions and video materials.
Through these initiatives, we aim to make a lasting impact on the field of art management, equipping professionals with the knowledge and tools to navigate and harness the potential of new technologies.
