I went to see an exhibition in #Hamburg today advertised as "from Herakles to Superman". I foolishly assumed there would be some discussion of the elements that make a modern hero vs the ancient Greek heros, similarities & differences between Greek heroes & US-American superheroes, and how heroes reflect society. But the exhibitors decided to make 1 room about US superheroes and 1 room about Greek gods and call it a day. No context. No discussion. And even AI generated images. WTF was the point?

@AimeeMaroux

sounds disappointing !

and #AI generated imagery in #museums is questionable - but at least put a label on it ! - and provide some context …

@wigbert They disclosed the AI generated images that were part of an AI generated comic "art project" but they did not label the images in the exhibition that were supposed to decorate the text boxes. I am pretty confident that they are AI generated because some of the figures have just 4 fingers.
