Great day at the new CACC @birkbeck_arts doctoral conference yesterday. Loved so many new disciplinary crossovers. Huge thank you to Avery Curran, Daria Ponomareva, Irene Praga Guerro and Jack McIntosh for organising 🥳
Join us this evening for what should be a fascinating illustrated lecture on Desktop Cinema by curator and researcher, Greg de Cuir Jr

What a night! We were joined by some brilliant minds last night to discuss everything AI & art and my word did London show up.
A massive shout out to @verse_leyla @anna_cc29@anya_nkl@gnatttang, Holly and @DigitalArtWeek for making it happen, and a huge thanks to brilliant minds @elluba@hudsonsims@kayhannahwatson@_katmitchell@smmrcr@stefarel@jebbl and @arthurimiller for your very insightful words. And of course to @bottoproject and @rainisto for bringing us all together.
Thanks so much for coming everyone. It was just awesome to see so many people (it felt like 300 ish?) from the NFT space and beyond. What can we as a community do to come together more? Co-working space? Pub sessions? New London Art Discord?
So good to be part of yesterday's @Braid_UK event on curatorial responses to AI. Thanks for letting us share challenges and considerations for collecting AI + big tech heritage. Some really exciting work shared and conversations had, and much more still to be done!
Today marks the start of 2 days of provocations looking at issues around the use of AI in the arts. If you're a curator, producer, gallerist or arts worker interested in presenting work that engages with AI, there are still spaces for tomorrow's event:

Everyone in the “art world” needs to process this and start to wrap their heads around the ongoing transformation of visual culture in the 21st century (if they haven’t already)
We're currently recruiting a Research Assistant to work on our 2025 exhibition at @Vam_East 'The Music is Black: A British Story'. More info: https://t.co/hOSTGNOPff
For @dpc_chat#WDPD2023, we wrote some things in the @V_and_A Design & Digital team about concerted efforts building the Computer Art collection and the ongoing work to expand and preserve our complex born-digital collections. Read it here: https://t.co/5TUCKIatl9
