Grimt og uforståeligt
AI som kunsthistorisk selvrefleksion
Nøgleord:
AI, Kunsthistorie, Kuratering, Datasæt, VærkanalyseResumé
Kunsthistoriedisciplinen og kunstig intelligens (AI) har det tilfælles, at de snylter på kunst og billeder produceret af andre. Det er blot en af de ting artiklen kaster lys over ved at foretage en sammenlignende analyse af tre fællestræk ved kunsthistorie og AI: samlingskuratering, betydningstilskrivning og værkanalyse.
