A constellation of enterprising ideas about art and artifact collections.
My interest, naturally, lies in the dataset used to curate the show. In other words, the algorithm bloodhounds the internet for traces of digitized collection information from cataloged objects relevant to the prompt entered into ChatGPT. In other words, the catalog information of the collection available online. In other words, the work of registrars and collections managers.
I have a more likely theory (maybe I should actually ask a curator why): they get recruited to those positions because they are good storytellers. They craft and relate narratives around institutions, around objects, around exhibitions that inspire curiosity and devotion among donors and earn loyalty from those around them.
