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