What is Beyond Production? Launched during the 2021 edition of Artissima and supported by Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, it is a three-year conceptual platform created to foster new reflections, year after year, on the most innovative trends of contemporary art, with the goal of investigating how they relate to the art market, the production of works, the research of artists and the role of galleries.
In its third episode, curated by Ilaria Bonacossa, director of the Museo Nazionale dell’Arte Digitale – MNAD of Milano, Beyond Production presents Symposium and generates dialogue between artists, innovators, collectors and experts on intellectual property and legal issues related to art, discussing the impact of new technologies. One characteristic ingredient of the platform is the critical viewpoint on Artificial Intelligence, which will be utilized in the assessment of the contents of the symposium, with the objective of responding to the question that enlivens the current debate: is AI an ally, a substitute or an enemy?
