Oleksii Voronko

Oleksii Voronko is the Digital Transformation and Grant Projects Manager at the Odesa National Fine Arts Museum. In this role, he leads a team dedicated to digitising the museum’s collection to safeguard it against potential loss due to physical damage or destruction.

Alongside this work, Oleksii is actively researching the application of artificial intelligence in museums. His focus includes using AI to assist researchers—such as through text analysis or automated image description—and to enrich the visitor experience, particularly in the current context of restricted access to art caused by ongoing security concerns.

Digital lifeboat: preserving cultural heritage during active conflict

As geopolitical circumstances get more and more unpredictable, virtually nobody is safe from armed conflicts or other human-made threats to heritage. The Odesa National Fine Arts Museum not only navigates through wartime, but also implements modern technology to safeguard and popularise the culture. How does digitisation happen under the constant existential threat and limited resources? What are the opportunities to support these actions? How is sustainability ensured? These lessons apply not only to conflict zones but to any institution facing natural disasters, climate threats, or political instability
