MONOCHRONICLE

"I felt supported as an artist throughout the process. The Monochronicle team ran an organized event, and were professional and positive from application to final install. They worked to resource the installation at each step, and were personally willing to jump in as needed to ensure the show was a success. I highly recommend the Monochronicle productio team for future events."

"Monochronicle’s strength lies in its research-based approach, responding to real needs of both artists and administrators.The platform’s structured format encourages administrators to provide clear, relevant information. This improves communication with artists and ultimately leads to stronger proposals and better project alignment."

"With the structured AI summaries, especially the high-level Brief Candidates Analysis Report that allows for quick triage, I estimate the total review time to drop to approximately 10-15 hours. Transformative for a large open call."

"I sometimes find AI can make mistakes, but I think people make more mistakes than AI does, especially with so many applications and skimming. After learning more directly from the production team about the use of AI tools for summary, I feel confident having it included in my package. It does provide a valuable synthesis of my application and compiles the facts in an easily read way. At first I was hesitant but knowing how difficult it must be to sift through hundreds of applications, I think this is a beneficial addition."

"AI system demonstrated strong alignment with the board’s decisions and appears to be a reliable tool for streamlining the process. Looking ahead, I see value in using the system to manage large applicant pools. For example, with a call of 150 artists, having AI identify the top 40 would allow jurors to focus their time and attention on a smaller, pre-vetted group."

"The three-stage process is a great idea. It truly addresses the primary frustrations and pain points associated with submitting to numerous calls for art. I have always believed there should be a more efficient way for clients to evaluate an artist’s style and determine fit. The current process, which requires artists to spend countless hours writing letters of interest and managing various image formats and naming conventions, is often tiresome and redundant. Thank you for taking the time to rethink this process."
