The projection is an output of the project Media Art Live Archive: Intelligent Interface for Interactive Mediation of Cultural Heritage that responds to dynamic changes in archival and museum practice due to the global trend of digitization of cultural heritage, especially the ongoing digitization of archives of works of art and their online access. It is not limited to organizing the content of the archive with the help of traditional library tools, but also explores the potential of digital technologies for innovative ways of working with archives and interactive mediation of cultural heritage to the public. Specifically, the use of artificial intelligence in the form of machine or deep learning of artificial neural networks in the analysis of audiovisual works and the development of interfaces for interactive mediation of archive content in the online environment and in the form of installation in the physical space of the Brno House of Arts. As part of the project, an archive of video art pioneers Woody and Steina Vašulka that is owned by Vasulka Kitchen Brno is being processed in this way.

The symposium takes place within the project Media Art Live Archive: Intelligent interface for interactive cultural heritage mediation (MediaArtLiveArchive, TL02000270) co-financed with the state support of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic within the ÉTA program.
