Course Aims

This course delves into the intersection of curation and decentralisation techniques, exploring the impact of decentralisation technologies on the creation, dissemination, and reception of transactional art. Through this course, students will analyse the influence of decentralisation on curatorial practices, audience engagement, and the circulation, discussion, and appreciation of art between curators, artists, and their audience. The course encourages students to understand how curation is transformed by algorithmic models, such as deep learning, blockchain, peer-to-peer protocols, text-to-image generation. This course also explores the technologies associated with transactional curation, including selecting and presenting tokenised art through blockchain models and NFTs. Furthermore, students will learn how to establish curatorial protocols that examine decentralisation by involving algorithmic curatorial practices, drawing on theoretical and practical knowledge.
