Avant Museology: Hito Steyerl

I would like to share another thought about the scene in the movie "Children of Men" when the Picasso's masterpiece "Guernica" is shown. The painting which I had the privilege to admire whilst living in Madrid right next the Reina Sofia, that pictures the suffering of the Basque population of Guernica caused by the ruthless attack perpetrated by Nazists and Fascists guided by the future dictator Franco, is a trophy regained by Neo-liberalism which masks a new version of fascism and is hidden on the wall of a dining room to conceals its messages from a potential resurrection of the spirit of rebellion and revolution against power which has kidnapped the icons of freedom and rebellion.

I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with BBuzzArt's "Agnes," the art intelligence engine? Basically it's AI that suggests "a perfect selection of stunning artworks" thus removing human curation presenting a stasis loop of pseudo artistic discovery, exactly what Steyerl fears in this video, absolutely terrifying.
