– I don’t understand what we are going to do with it. I think there is a desperation on the part of the museums to reach out to the young. That’s what art critic Mona Pahle Bjerke says in news. The Munch Museum wants to breathe new life into Edvard Munch’s work. “Nysnø” is the name of the interactive experience that will allow the audience to draw together with artificial intelligence that imitates Edvard Munch’s strokes. Aimed at young people – We want our guests to be left with the feeling that they have learned something about Munch and his artistic process, says senior concept developer Nikita Mathias at Munch to news. The drawing experience at the Munch Museum works by drawing on physical paper yourself. Then artificial intelligence produces the lines on the same sheet from the underside of the paper. The project is particularly aimed at young people and young adults, says Nikita Mathias. Nikita Mathias says that the project is particularly aimed at young people and young adults. Photo: Frode Fjerdingstad / news – Not going completely off the handle Art critic Pahle Bjerke believes for her part that it is important to practice immersing yourself, as well as looking at art in peace and quiet. – I think it’s important that museums don’t go completely off the rails, but that they manage to preserve the fact that they don’t need a screen, things that light up and things you have to press. We can actually just stand and look at a work of art, she says. At the same time, artificial intelligence does not have much to do with Munch, points out Pahle Bjerke. – He lived in a completely different time. I think you can understand Munch by looking at his pictures, instead of having a computer to analyze the idiom, she believes. The Munch Museum has entered into a collaboration with one of the world’s largest IT consultancy companies. The goal is to use AI to give Edvard Munch’s art new life. Photo: Simon Skjelvik Brandseth / news Create new meeting points Head of innovation and research at Munch, Birgitte Aga, does not agree with the criticism from Pahle Bjerke. – The meeting point we create between art and the public should in no way be replaced by machine learning, says Aga to news. Aga says that the museum will use artificial intelligence to create new meeting points between art and people, as well as how to make the art collection more accessible. – We want people to sit down and participate in the creative process, as well as create a meeting point between the public and Munch’s line, she says.
