London museum to use AI to let visitors walk on Shakespeare’s early stage | William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare | The Guardian: Theatre lovers will be able to walk across the Elizabethan stage where Shakespeare presented Romeo and Juliet and Henry V at a London museum installation that uses the latest AI technology.
The idea of creating an AI-powered London Museum of Shakespeare in Shoreditch is truly innovative and exciting. As the world continues to embrace technological advancements, incorporating AI into the museum experience is an intelligent move that will undoubtedly attract younger audiences who might not have been interested in Shakespearean history before. The article states that the museum will use AI to create interactive displays and exhibits that will make visitors feel as though they are interacting with Shakespeare and his works in real-time. This will not only enhance the museum experience but also provide visitors with a deeper understanding of Shakespeare's life and works. I wonder how the logistic of the museum will work out and if this becomes a mature enough thing, could we potentially have more museums like this around the world? It seems to be enough of a draw at least for the next few decades. It’s a shame that this article didn’t really outline how AI is used in the museum but the part about projecting onto the museum’s structure seems very cool.
This is one of the first AI articles that I have read in which I have wanted to actually go and see the thing or exhibit itself. This one sounds really awesome to experience for anyone that is interested in this type of art. This museum sounds exciting to visit as well. After reading about the guest’s experience in the museum, I do not think I have experienced a museum that is similar to this one in terms of AI and the exhibit being altered around you specifically. There is so much history in the theatre and I love that it is going to be shared in this public manner, hopefully those less involved in our art will take an interest to it, as there is more to theatre than the modern-day successful shows. I hope to be able to one day visit this experience or find a museum experience that is similar to this one.
This is yet another application of AI that I hadn’t really thought about until reading this article. This type of museum seems like a really engaging one, and one that’ll be super interesting for kids and adults alike. The ability to walk on the stage that Shakespeare presented his different shows on is incredibly cool, and this implementation of technology to make it happen is fascinating. I really wonder how the projection will look when they use it - how it will augment the reality of the visitor as they walk on the stage. The idea of immersive museums is really interesting to me - some of my favorite museum experiences have been interactive ones that were more when I was younger and the idea of immersive and interactive ones more geared towards adults (as well as kids) is really exciting. While I’ll probably never make it out to this museum, I’m excited to see photos and reviews of it as it opens.
We, the human race, have an extreme obsession with progression and advancement, and while I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing, it certainly gets us in a lot of trouble. Even the race to the moon was fueled by this obsession. Now that AI technology is widely accessible, everyone wants to use it in every way possible and keep reinventing it. When people figured out how to make “art” with AI (even though art is inherently human in nature) everyone went crazy. And now that people are making music with AI, it could be even worse. I understand how AI can be really great in many ways, but after all the threats it has posed and continues to pose to artists, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe I should be more open to it for applications like letting visitors walk on Shakespeare's early stage. It will take a lot to prove to me that AI can do more good than harm.
It is quite fascinating to see how far Artificial Intelligence has come in the past few years. Now, it is able to tell people about the life of William Shakespeare. The Museum of Shakespeare located in the Curtain Playhouse in London, will use AI technology to show animated performances of Shakespeare's first performances such as Romeo and Juliet and Henry V. Not only that, but the museum holds other interesting pieces of history, such as the hidden remains of tenement buildings that were built after the playhouse’s closure. I think this museum would be fun and exciting to visit. While learning of Shakespeare sounds fun, the history of the theater itself and the AI used to tell stories is what draws me in the most. Technology has come so far that AI can create animations of performances of early Shakespearean plays, and that, for whatever reason, gives me hope about humanity’s progress.
