Open access art: At SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst we just redesigned our themes/collections of artworks on our online collection to make them more useful. 👉 open.smk.dk/en/themes Next up: Transparent display of AI-generated metadata. #openglam #musetech

Do androids dream of electric paint? 🤖 For the next SMK Fridays event on 12 September (where we'll open our new Surrealism exhibition) we're asking machines to dream about the museum collection. In Copenhagen? Drop by! 🤗 👉 www.smk.dk/en/event/smk...

Ny podcast (hostet af yours truly) 🎧 I begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede er Statens Museum for Kunst ikke videre interesseret i nyere, fransk kunst. Men to entreprenante samlere sætter sig for at ændre museets mening. Deres plan går næsten i vasken, men kun næsten. 👉 pod.fo/e/32369f

A meeting we had this morning somehow gave birth to this.

Jonas Heide Smith @jonassmith.dk · 12/06/2025

Today we met up to determine the future of digital visitor services for (physical) SMK museum guests. There'll be web apps, QR codes, AI translation and magic-like wayfinding. Looking forward to building this! 🔧 #musetech #artmuseum

AI rendering of our meeting. Even though there was actually one dude present, ChatGPT left him out for some reason.

New adventures in 3D! Scanning superhero Jon Beck just scanned 20 SMK sculptures. We look forward to releasing them into the public domain as hi-quality 3D models ASAP! Full list: open.smk.dk/shared-list?... #openglam #dkkultur #openaccess

Photographer dropped by to shoot real estate photos of our house. He told me he’d upload them instantly to be touched-up ‘somewhere in Asia’. Guess that might all be AI in a few years. Strange world.

WHY would you bother with a tailor-made AI museum guide, when you can just use ChatGPT in voice mode?, someone asked me. And so I tried that out and was shocked to realize that one of SMK's highlights is Henri Matisse's 'The Blue Scaffolding'!!! 🧵 #musetech #artmuseum #matisse

ASK THE COLLECTION ANYTHING! Just tested a prototype for AI audioguide at the museum. 6 friendly+clever students from the Technical University of Denmark are hard at work making the thing real. We're on board as a "development partner" continuously providing feedback on their work. 🧵

MOSES IS ON THE MOVE ⚡ This morning we moved (a bronze copy of) Michelangelo's Moses from a #Copenhagen park to the front stairs of the museum. The prophet is well and you should come say hi if you're in town. #michelangelo #smkmuseum

These latest AI models are really clever (some of the time)

Arh, you've hit upon the unholy combo of finding Niels Larsen Stevns's blank notebook pages (for some reason catalogued individually) and searching for something woefully under-represented in the collection. Not found indeed 😀

WHAT DOES ART MEAN? Developer Kristian Møller Schmidt just built a semantic search interface for SMK's collection (based on our API). This search field understands exactly what you mean. It's cool - check it out! ✨ #openglam 👉Semantic Art Search: semantic-art-search.kristianms.com/text-search/

Newly passed Danish museum subsidy scheme found no place for digital initiatives (i.e. they are not encouraged in the current form). Weird, but we need to propose some way to measure. I’ll write up my thoughts ASAP. #dkmuseum

Saw 'A Complete Unknown' last night. It's very OK, but not much dramatic tension if every time main character touches a guitar everybody just faints in awe.
