Museums seek new ways to engage, enchant and educate audiences. In the future, Artificial Intelligence will play an increasingly important role in audience-orientated digital learning and engagement offers as well as in scientific terms as a research companion for museum curators. Now first steps in this direction are being taken in small experimental projects as for example in the AI project presented here “The Infinite Loop ring”. It is a joint project between artists and art museums. AI can inspire artists interested in interrogating the past, working along similar lines as museum curators do in processes of data gathering and interpretation. “The Infinite Loop ring” shows how (art) historical museum collections can be used for new artistic questions and demonstrates the development potential of museum artefacts. At the same time, curators and artists can enter into an exciting new dialogue with visitors with the help of such creative, forward-looking projects.
