“Training the Archive”

Tuesday 6th February, 2024 - Bruce Sterling

Dear All,

I’d like to make you aware of our book publication:

“Training the Archive” includes four new essays by Hannes Bajohr, Mél Hogan, Moritz Ibing et al., and Giulia Taurino, interviews with experts from the field of artificial intelligence, a collection of material in the form of images, information on prototypes and documentation of the accompanying laboratory exhibition and conference.

“Training the Archive” (2020–2023) focuses on the transfer of machine learning methods to curatorial practice and on investigating the extent to which algorithmic models can support the exploration of museum collections. It summarizes the results of the joint research project at Ludwig Forum Aachen, HMKV Hartware MedienKunstVerein, and RWTH Aachen University.

best regards,

Francis
