In 2012, Štromajer created ten binary algorithms, following his ultimate vision that by 2112, machines will independently, directly, and completely human-free, produce art for their fellow machines, without any human participation in the process of production, transfer and consumption of art.
Documentation as Art
Expanded Digital Practices
Edited by Annet Dekker and Gabriella Giannachi
Routledge, January 2023

Documentation as Art presents documentation as an expanded practice that is radically changing the ways in which to look at, participate in, and generate art.
Bringing together expertise from different disciplines, the book provides an in-depth investigation of the development of documentation as a set of production, circulation, and preservation strategies. Illustrating how these are often led by artists, audiences, and museums, the contributions offer new insights into digital art and its history, curation, and preservation, through documentation. Considering documentation as the main method of preserving these art forms, the book analyses how it can address the inherent challenges of capturing live events, visitor experiences, and evolving artworks. Showing how documentation itself can become (part of) an original artwork, the book discusses ways in which these expanded practices can impact the value and experience of the documented event or artwork, giving consideration to how this might affect the traditional authority of the museum as creator of documentation used for future reference, historical relevance, or cultural memory.
Documentation as Art demonstrates how the curation and preservation of documentation and the introduction of audience-generated documentation are radically changing exhibition and visiting practices in which documentation is becoming a significant and emergent cultural form in its own right. The book will appeal to researchers and students engaged in the study of museums and curation, art and art history, performance, new media and digital art, library and information science, and conservation.

However, they share some similarities in their exploration of social and political issues. Continue reading “ChatGPT: Štromajer vs. Kruger”
