Carnival Carnivore
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
In September 2021, a novel, experimental exhibition took place at Crone Gallery in Vienna, Austria. The artworks shown here were all generated by a precursor of today’s Artificial Intelligence: the text generator Poetry Machine, which David Link has been actively developing since 2001. The article details the texts produced and shows some examples of the artworks in the exhibition. The article thereby practically demonstrates a new approach to curating exhibitions and organizing the workflow between curators, artists and machines.
