Introduction:Towards Collective Practices with Humans, Machines, and Others

Curating Superintelligences addresses a shift in the contemporary curatorial field largely attributed to the ubiquitous cultural presence of computational technologies and the rapid developments in Artificial Intelligence. It speculates on the implications of machine and human ‘superintelligences’ (that surpass human intelligence as we understand it) for contemporary art and culture, and new possibilities for curating beyond existing paradigms and fields of knowledge. <br/>We see this as an opportunity to raise ethical concerns resulting from the very foundations on which AI is built, and to speculate on alternative frameworks and curatorial practices where possible superintelligences may emerge from collective endeavours between humans and machines..
