Abstract

This study aims to explore the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the preservation and exhibition of artworks, with the “Exhibition Environment Status Detection Device and System” and the “Automatic Exhibition Guide System”, developed by Cheng Shiu University, as case studies. In recent years, AI technology has made significant advancements in image recognition, machine learning, and data analysis, which provide new opportunities for art management. However, due to high costs and implementation challenges, as well as a lack of qualified personnel to use these tools and systems, small art galleries and museums have not yet had the opportunity to acquire such systems. Therefore, this study observes the practical application of the “Exhibition Environment Status Detection Device and System” and the “Automatic Exhibition Guide System” in the fields of art preservation and exhibition. The study employs case study and observation methods, with participatory observation as the primary data collection approach. The results indicate that AI technology significantly enhances the preservation conditions of artworks and the interactivity of exhibitions. The paper suggests that future efforts should focus on long-term planning relating to technology costs and professional talent development to fully realize the potential of AI in art management and exhibition. Additionally, the application of these technologies can be extended to other fields.
