This spring, a wave of AI-generated imagery in the style of Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli flooded social media. The trend renewed debate about how AI affects the way we make and experience art. On this episode of The Artsy Podcast, we tackle some of those questions with New Yorker staff writer Kyle Chayka, whose book Filterworld explores the impact of online algorithms on popular culture. We discuss the homogenizing effects of social media, the evolving role of curators, and the importance of cultivating personal taste at a time when culture is mediated by machines.  Plus, Artsy editors Casey Lesser and Arun Kakar share insights on the Chinese art market from Arun’s recent visit to Beijing and preview their upcoming trip to Art Basel. Kyle Chayka is a staff writer at The New Yorker, where he writes a column about the intersections of digital technology and popular culture. He is the author of Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture.

Can Art Thrive in the Age of AI? (with Kyle Chayka)

<a href='https://www.artsy.net/artist/marina-abramovic-1'>Marina Abramović</a> built her career by testing the limits of the body. Now, she’s testing what digital art can do. On this episode of The Artsy Podcast, the groundbreaking performance artist joins us for a conversation about launching her <a href='https://mae.taex.com/'>new NFT project</a>, bringing mindfulness to the digital realm, and using her work to reach across generational divides. Plus, Artsy editors Casey Lesser and Arun Kakar break down everything you need to know about Frieze Week in New York—a period packed with art fairs, gallery openings, and can’t-miss museum shows. About our guest:Marina Abramović is perhaps the most famous performance artist working today. Employing duration, pain, danger, exhaustion, and viewer participation, she works at extremes and complicates the relationship between art and audience. Abramović exhibited at Documenta in 1977, 1982, and 1992 and at the Venice Biennale in 1976 and 1997, when she was awarded the Golden Lion. In her famous 2010 Museum of Modern Art retrospective, “The Artist Is Present,” visitors sat across from Abramović in silent communion. More recently, she became the first woman artist to stage a solo exhibition in the Royal Academy’s main galleries in the institution’s 255-year history. Abramović is the founder of the Marina Abramović Institute, which promotes performance art globally.

Can NFTs Inspire Mindfulness? (with Marina Abramović)

In 1971, Linda Nochlin’s groundbreaking essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” posed a provocative question about the role of gender in art history. Today, we know that there have been great women artists across time and cultures—but, too often, their greatness isn’t recognized by the art market.Art historian Katy Hessel visits The Artsy Podcast for a special Women’s History Month episode to discuss the importance of talking about women’s representation in the art world, the progress that has been made towards gender parity, and the contemporary women artists she’s watching now.Plus, Artsy editors Casey Lesser and Arun Kakar discuss the month’s art news, including the scene at TEFAF, developments in AI artwork, and standout exhibitions in London, Austin, and Hong Kong.  Katy Hessel is an art historian, curator, broadcaster, and author of The Story of Art without Men.

When Will Great Women Artists Get Their Due? (with Katy Hessel)

<description>On this episode, we take stock of the state of the art market. May was a frenzied month for the industry, with the Rockefeller and New York auctions providing key litmus tests about the health of the market. There were some objectively massive sales, including works by Picasso and Modigliani. But with big ticket works selling, why didn’t the action on the salesroom floor feel exciting? And what does that tell us about the role that expectations play when it comes to the art market? 

We also get a firsthand account of the sale that did electrify the art world: the $21.1 million auction of Kerry James Marshall’s Past Times at Sotheby’s. Finally, we look ahead to Art Basel in Basel, which opens to VIPs on June 12th.</description>
