The year is 2031. Millions of out of work artists sift through debris in texture mines, looking for patterns that have not yet been seen online. Four years earlier during The Great Enumeration, AI tools were used to ingest all known documented artworks, and now that platform has been acquired by a multinational, providing artwork through paid subscriptions.
ArtMinr, by Jonny Scholes, proposes this future, prompting us to consider the types of systems and ecologies we desire, and the potential routes we might already be treading.
Presented by ACMI X, join Experimenta as they utilise the provocation of Scoles’ work to facilitate a dialogue around the future of labour, the commodification of culture and the extractive nature of digital capitalism.
Be introduced to the work and themes in ArtMinr, and then engage in a dialogue around the value of art and the challenges of our future, through the lens of cultural economist, Professor David Throsby, and climate focussed sector leader, Angharad Wynne-Jones.
This panel discussion will be moderated by Bianca Durrant (Managing Director, Experimenta) and will be followed by an audience Q&A and drinks at ACMIX.
