Exhibition lighting intent brief

For gallery exhibition designers, turn artwork requirements and venue plans into curator-approved lighting brief. Address this specific problem: lighting contractors lack artwork-specific visual intent. The aim: visual intent separated from technical approval. The pilot tests whether that benefit holds up against reviewer effort and real operating costs.

The buyer creates a project, supplies artwork requirements and venue plans, and confirms scope and access. Users correct extracted facts, resolve flagged uncertainties and approve the final curator-approved lighting brief before use. Retain source links and a version history for the next cycle.

How the AI works

AI assists these bounded tasks: map lighting goals; flag sensitive works; draft technician questions. Use only artwork requirements and venue plans and preserve uncertainty in curator-approved lighting brief. Keep model suggestions separate from verified facts. Link factual outputs to authorized input evidence and show missing information explicitly. Use deterministic checks for counts, dates, identifiers and arithmetic where applicable. A designated reviewer validates consequential outputs and signs off the delivered result.

Safeguards

Protect supplied asset rights, client approvals and product fidelity. Do not reuse private client assets across accounts. One organization, one defined input format and one representative pilot batch using artwork requirements and venue plans. Professional judgment, physical inspections, live external actions and production certification remain outside this prototype. Require appropriate access and publication approval. Preserve source material, label AI drafts and make corrections traceable. Measure false positives and missed cases alongside speed.

What to build first

Costed pilot: One organization, one defined input format and one representative pilot batch using artwork requirements and venue plans. Professional judgment, physical inspections, live external actions and production certification remain outside this prototype. Start with one buyer organization and a bounded set of representative inputs. Implement the first two modules: map lighting goals; flag sensitive works. Support the third task through an assisted review queue: draft technician questions. Handle the remaining required functions manually until validated. Include input upload, source references, user correction, a reviewer approval step and export of curator-approved lighting brief. Authentication, account isolation, deletion controls and basic operational logging are included. Specialized production certification, live write integrations and broader rollout are not included unless explicitly stated.

What it can connect to

Existing artwork, campaign systems and client approval processes. Read-only operational exports, calendars and finance or inventory records as relevant. Start with plan exports and retain human approval for execution. Begin with uploads and exports of artwork requirements and venue plans. Any named system or connector is a candidate requiring current access and compatibility checks; no live connection is included by default.

The screens in detail

Place editable drivers and constraints beside a clearly labeled scenario output. Include a baseline view, comparison chart or schedule, and an assumptions history. Let users trace a proposed quantity or date back to its inputs. Keep forecasts distinct from actual results. Open with brief and sources; move into exhibition lighting intent brief for the detailed task; finish in review and delivery for review and handoff. Show the source record, uncertainty and approval status beside each proposed output.
