Steve Zafeiriou (b. 1998, Thessaloniki, GR) is a New Media Artist, Technologist, and Founder of Saphire Labs. His practice investigates how technology can influence, shape, and occasionally distort the ways individuals perceive the external world. By employing generative algorithms, electronic circuits, and interactive installations, he examines human behavior in relation to the illusory qualities of perceived reality, inviting observers to reconsider their assumptions and interpretations.

FAQ: Art & Technology Intelligence

What is “art-tech intelligence”?

Art-tech intelligence refers to the analysis of how artificial intelligence, data systems, and computational methods influence artistic creation, curation, and the art market. It connects qualitative interpretation with measurable signals such as engagement, relevance, and sentiment to understand shifts in taste and institutional strategy.

How does Konnekt Index relate to the articles in this category?

Category features draw on the same data backbone used by Konnekt Index. Articles interpret cultural developments; the platform quantifies them through AISF scoring, alerts, and scheduled reports for researchers, curators, and institutional teams.

What kinds of datasets inform curatorial intelligence?

Typical inputs include exhibition announcements, institutional releases, critical essays, market summaries, and selected social or trend feeds. Signals are normalised and scored to indicate relevance, sentiment, and innovation. Specific data sources can vary by coverage and are documented within reports where appropriate.

Can these insights replace human curatorship?

No. AI-supported analysis scales discovery and pattern recognition, but curators provide contextual, historiographic, and ethical judgement. The most effective models are hybrid—algorithmic tools paired with human oversight.

Who benefits from subscribing to reports?

Researchers, curators, galleries, and collectors seeking structured monitoring of art-tech developments benefit from daily notes, alerts, and periodic deep-dives. Reports provide concise synthesis for decision-making without replacing independent evaluation.
