I am here, but mostly offline and probably in the sea…. @esarahcook.bsky.social And for now I’m still on insta under my old handle @littlecurator where you’ll find photos of the sea.

I’m one of the very many people who went to bed last night not knowing what the schedule would be this morning and it turns out my usual trains (in and out) are those which have been axed from the schedule. Awake early for nought / longer day ahead.😖

Can the same digitised public domain work by the same artist be considered both in and out of copyright by different museums in the same legal jurisdiction?🤔 Enter the world of Schrödinger’s copyright👇 https://t.co/njkMEYaLJP #copyright #IP #museums #UK #openGLAM #openaccess

As the saying goes, show me an AI model and I’ll show you a labour violation. Thanks @jamesbridle for spelling this out so cogently

This is how these bosses get rich: by hiding underpaid, unrecognised human work behind the trappings of technology, says the writer and artist James Bridle

this morning in our class about the future of digital cultural heritage, students asked what I could tell them about museums and NFTs... we all need to swot up even more on this history.

I normally refuse to speak up about the monetary value of work but I have nothing personally to gain here: Sotheby’s is dramatically undervaluing MOTHERSHIP. It’s one of the first works ever registered to a blockchain in 2013, period. We even still know the hash.

As a former museum curator, I'm more shocked that viewers find this walkthrough realistic than I am in Sora's achievement. No physics model could produce this physically impossible gallery, and no self-respecting artist would produce the malformed pastiches on its walls.
