If the blockchain once offered the possibility for a radically decentralized art world, a number of North American and European hubs have continued to hold sway. Yet the attendance of galleries this week at Frieze Seoul that used to gravitate toward Basel suggests an increasingly multipolar ecosystem if not a wholly new center of gravity.

It’s not just the fairs either. Centre Pompidou Hanwha opened in Seoul on June 4, with the French cultural behemoth developing a further long-term partnership with M+ in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Powerhouse Parramatta opens in Sydney on November 7 with a mandate built around art and technology just as this year’s Shenzhen Art and Technology Biennale explores the quantum nature of perception.

Perhaps it is no surprise that, in a world of geopolitical fragmentation, new cultural axes are emerging. But maybe the center was never as fixed as the map made it look.

Right Click Save’s Forum section is a discussion board for the digital art community. It has attracted posts and comments on a broad range of topics, not least on AI, its creative power and potential, as well as its perils.

With articles featuring AI in this week’s newsletter — on artists researching the effects of AI on society for a new Serpentine fellowship program, and the artist Genesis Kai’s engagement with AI not as a tool for automation but as a place for dialogue and disagreement — we visit an evergreen thread on the Forum where fellow artists have been commenting on Primavera De Filippi’s question “When was the last time you were surprised by AI?”. In the thread, De Filippi shared her considered take on the question in her Right Click Save article “Off-Grid Aesthetics | Where the AI prompt cannot go”.

The Right Click Save Index is a knowledge bank drawn from across the magazine’s editorial coverage. It shows how people, artworks, events, organizations, and ideas connect in our archive of more than 440 articles.

Rather than a comprehensive biography or dictionary definition, each page surfaces the salient elements from our ecosystem. Readers can access the Index from the navigation bar of the website, through the Search window, and from in-article “cards” that link to Index entries, or direct to articles in the Magazine archive.

With our focus in this week’s newsletter on how art and technology have been happily interlaced for decades in Japan, Korea, and China, the Right Click Save Index takes us to a conversation between Mr Wu (Wu Yishen) otherwise known as With, the collector and founder of MUD Gallery, Shanghai, and Noriaki Nakata, on the growth potential of China’s digital art ecosystem.
