the Bucharest Biennale was initiated in 2005 by two art theorists and curators, Rzvan Ion and Eugen Rdescu: to date, it is one of very few significant Biennale projects dedicated to the presentation of contemporary art in the regionThe Biennale epitomizes the intricate dynamics of art practice and art reception raising the question whether it might be time to venture beyond the traditional road maps (Seismopolite - Journal of Art and Politics) I am very happy to remember what the very respected Seismopolite wrote about Bucharest Biennale... Today, Spinnwerk Vienna became the permanent partner of Bucharest Biennale, and "we venture beyond the traditional road maps" becoming the first art biennial in the history of art curated by AI in VR.

BUCHAREST BIENNALE 2022 THE FIRST BIENNIAL IN THE WORLD CURATED BY AI IN VR May 25, 2020 - The 10th BUCHAREST BIENNALE (Bucharest International Biennial for Contemporary Art), generated by Pavilion - journal for politics and culture & Spinnwerk Elevation.Labor.Wien is set for May 19 - July 17, 2022, under the curatorship of Jarvis (AI).... The Bucharest Biennale International Advisory Board met in Vienna and awarded the curatorship for the 10th Bucharest Biennale unanimously to Jarvis (AI). Jarvis, it is an AI (artificial intelligence) system created by Spinnwerk Vienna. His name is a reference to the AI from Marvel's Iron Man. For BB10, the team of Spinnwerk Vienna will create Jarvis and will train him in the next 2 years through the machine and deep learning to learn curatorship using materials from the world's renowned MA's of curating and contemporary art history from the most respected Universities. BB10 venues will be in VR (virtual reality) and will be accessed through standalone VR headsets. Physical spaces will be available in the city where people without personal access to a VR headset can experience the biennial. BUCHAREST BIENNALE becomes the first biennial in the world curated by AI in VR. --- Note: Bucharest Biennale, "Farewell to Research", curated by Henk Slager (NL), scheduled for May 28 - July 04, 2020, has been postponed in its original planned form due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
