In any case, she has to jump on a call now, so can't continue with this particular frivolity. Love you, bye!
Perhaps she'll storm off in a huff because running a functioning and healthy cooperative commons is really hard and she may need to go sit on a mountain somewhere (to make spelunkers for museums).
Hello! Good news: @ukglo is now officially the founding Executive Director of the Flickr Foundation - @flickrfdn / flickr.org. Bad news, or, semi-bad news? That means the little company that could, Good, Form & Spectacle, is going on ice.
@CassieRobinson @KieronJBoyle What might the distribution look like in a better-balanced scenario?
Exciting structural enhancements at @librarycongress featuring @kzwa & @tjowens 🥰💪📚 newsroom.loc.gov/news/library-o…
Gold!
Great to see the soft launch of Oral Histories of Museum Computing, @paulfmarty and Kathy Jones! Fifty (50!) interviews (video + text transcriptions) with museum technology professionals on their often invisible work. #musetech #oralhistory #digitalhistory ohmc.cci.fsu.edu
At Day 1 of a short course: Unlocking Archives. Run by @Warburg_News and the Colnaghi Foundation. We’re about to start the Intro to Paleography session. 😍
Today I am listening to @HitoSteyerl talk Bubble Vision (2018): youtube.com/watch?v=T1Qhy0… "to automate means to eliminate"
Really promising (presumably) work-in-progress on disinformation networks:

Today I’m listening to Viggo Mortenson embody Albert Camus giving his 1946 speech, The Human Crisis. Mid-20th century history is repeating itself. scribd.com/document/34126…
I’m concurrently reading The Library: A Fragile History, too, which collides beautifully with this Western “highest culture” stuff beautifully, given how many libraries have been ruthlessly destroyed by The Church in various instantiations.
Has to be said - as with many/most of Bragg’s works, it’s a history of white or “Western” epistemologies of culture. Would love to have more episodes that looks for other societies’ similar reflections and developments.
Today I’m listening to The Value of Culture by Melvyn Bragg. 2012-2013. “Culture looks beyond machinery…” bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/…
Continued indefatigable analysis from @CultureDoug and @AndeeWallace on open access uptake in cultural orgs. They’ve gathered 1,349 org examples!
Today I'm watching a conversation between Tacita Dean, and art historian, Anne Rana about Dean's residency @GettyMuseum and her 'Monet Hates Me' piece. I constantly wish I was an artist in perpetual residence in the great collections of the world. youtube.com/watch?v=VJW9kk…
