In view of rapid technological developments and social changes, the practice of museum collections is confronted with diverse challenges that require new inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives. The third conference of “MUSEUM+RECHT” will focus on the use of artificial intelligence in connection with the creation of artworks and their curation. Born-digital art has long been established, but in connection with new technologies – first and foremost NFT or blockchain – it is experiencing a further facet that opens up a new set of legal questions. For example, institutions that collect art regularly encounter certain legal uncertainties when it comes to purchasing, permanently securing and making art available to the public, especially with regard to copyright issues. Finally, questions concerning innovative methods of art education need to be evaluated across disciplines.

The third symposium in the “MUSEUM+RECHT” series at the University of Continuing Education Krems will examine the topic of “AI, Co-Creation & NFT” from a transdisciplinary perspective. It will address the manifold legal and curatorial implications of contemporary art forms and their collection, the function and significance of new technologies in the art market as well as questions of individualised and participatory user experiences with regard to the digital future of museums.
