The project “AI Art Curation: Re-imagining the City of Helsinki” was developed for the Helsinki Biennial 2023, titled New Directions May Emerge. It uses artificial intelligence to reimagine the city of Helsinki through the lens of the Helsinki Art Museum (HAM) collection.
By employing visual-textual models, the project maps artworks from the museum’s collection onto fictional public spaces across the city, assigning them imagined coordinates based on similarity scores. Synthetic 360° panoramas are then generated for these locations, blending the artistic style of the works with the urban landscape. This approach creates an alternative version of the city where the boundaries between art, context, and machine perception are blurred.
The outcome is presented as an interactive web installation, allowing users to navigate this imagined city and explore cultural heritage in a new, innovative way.
