💬 Christiane Paul (Whitney Museum): "As a curator, I'm not looking for any specific markers of quality. I evaluate digital art, including AI art, always on the same basis—that is, how does an artist engage with the medium conceptually and practically in a sophisticated way?
That is the main criterion. I find technical novelty deeply uninteresting. Of course, I do look at what artists are doing with the newest technologies. But I'm not coming to the work thinking about how 'it's new. It's the first.' That’s a completely overused yardstick. It's really all about how an artist engages with the technology."
