AI-Driven Croatian Pavilion at 2022 Venice Biennale

The 2022 Venice Biennale features the Croatian Pavilion, named 'Untitled (Croatian Pavilion),' a performance driven by artificial intelligence and created by Tomo Savić-Gecan, with curation by Elena Filipovic. This initiative, part of the overarching theme 'Il latte dei sogni' curated by Cecilia Alemani, will take place from April 23 to November 27, 2022. An AI system evaluates news from various sources, including The New York Times, Arab News, and Le Monde, to classify topics and provide directions for five artists. These artists navigate the Biennale grounds according to AI-generated algorithms, producing a performance influenced by real-time news. Attendees can follow the artists through the official pavilion website or at an information point on Via Garibaldi. Filipovic notes that the project highlights how news shapes perception and ideology in the 'post-truth' era, involving other national pavilions as well.
