My man @benadavis was kind enough to invite me on to @artnet's Art Angle podcast to talk over the crazy shit that has come to pass in culture since January 20, focusing on museums. Now live on @Spotify and @iTunes platforms. https://t.co/c0kngGF8Bo
@Ataoskers@benadavis It’s a strong response, the best I’ve read so far (and I think I’ve read nearly all of them). The alternative narrative of the last ten years is particularly good.

Monday reading recommendation: "How will AI reshape art" by the inimitable @benadavis from @artnet from earlier this year! "if you want to predict the future of “art” in the shadow of generative A.I., you specifically do not want to focus on what the technology makes it easy to do." https://t.co/XVrgx5ewFl

@benadavis "Futurology is mainly people telling you what corporations are already doing." Nice pair of articles, but as you say, they're about "how A.I. might be rewiring the perception of art," not so much on making artistic use of the technology. Luciano Berio in 1985:
Fascinating essay on the impact and interweaving of artificial intelligence and art critically explored by @benadavis - so much food for thought!
