Accompanying the exhibition AI Authority of Art
- The day after the opening of the exhibition AI Authority of Art, we invite you to take part in an interactive artistic intervention led by Mikołaj Robert Jurkowski.
- On 19 July, during gallery opening hours, an open studio will be set up in the courtyard, which anyone can join at any time throughout the day. For nearly eight hours, the artist will be present, welcoming visitors and inviting them to collaborate. As part of the workshop, participants will create their own banners related to the AI Authority of Art exhibition.
- Robert Mikołaj Jurkowski
- (b. 1966) Artist, educator, teacher, social activist, and cultural animator. In 1995, together with Rafał Ewertowski, Artur Kozdrowski, Jacek Niegoda, Maciej Sienkiewicz, and Piotr Wyrzykowski, he co-founded the Central Office of Technical Culture (C.U.K.T.). From 2001 to 2008, he was associated with the Artists’ Colony at the Gdańsk Shipyard, where he conducted artistic and educational activities. He is the initiator of several educational workshops, including Touch of Art(Artists’ Colony), Land of Creativity, and The Wanderers (Centre for Contemporary Art Łaźnia), aimed at making contemporary art more accessible to marginalised communities. He is currently employed as the Curator for Education at the Centre for Contemporary Art Łaźnia.
- AI Authority of Art is an artistic project in the form of a multichannel, interactive audiovisual installation, in which viewers are invited to participate in a debate between two virtual politicians: Wiktoria Cukt 2.0 and Leader Lars. By using the latest AI technologies, the exhibition creates a space not only for observation, but also for actively joining the conversation with chatbots. Visitors can interact through various stations such as the Wiktoriomat, Larsomat, and phone-headset booths, where they can ask questions and receive real-time responses generated by the algorithms behind the two virtual characters. The installation continuously generates an exchange of thoughts and viewpoints: it is an active space where public engagement plays a key role.
