Description
How is artificial intelligence transforming the visual image of our region? The exhibition Almostland Nemmmzeti Múzeum, which opens on October 14 as part of the MOME Breakfast series, answers this question; it is at once an art project, a research experiment, and a speculative museum. Through the history of a fictional country, the project illustrates how the cultural heritage of the V4 region is represented in global AI systems.
The exhibition is the result of an international collaboration among MOME students. Hungarian, Czech, Polish, and Slovak participants worked together on the curatorial concept, the research, and the creation of the exhibition, while the works on display are also by artists from the region. The exhibition was realized with the support of the International Visegrad Fund.
