The Silent Museum examines our present time as seen in the rear view mirror of a badly driven vehicle. It collects the remnants of today. silentmuseum.org #museum #culture #humanity #art #society #environment #posthistory #multimedia #archive #civilization

Museums may be seen as a form of ludic space in which sometimes aggressive, often imperialist cultural games are played. This makes them perfectly suited to a transition to the computer gaming realm. txbroswell.itch.io/the-silent-m... #museum #game #culture #humanity #art #society #civilization

Fragment: Lower level, preliminary assessment. Access difficult. Floor covering here is a synthetic material that has partially delaminated and curled. Beneath it is evidence of a previous floor covering. And beneath that, another. silentmuseum.org #museum #culture #humanity #civilization #art

Fragment: Atmosphere update. The organic solvent traces have increased slightly in concentration in Gallery 4. Possibly related to the fractured rooflight and current atmospheric conditions. Or possibly related to something in the lower levels. silentmuseum.org #museum #culture #humankind #art

Fragment: There is extensive use of complex graphics and numerical codes. None of this material has been successfully transcoded yet. There is a heavy coating of the fine red/brown dust on all surfaces, including the objects inside the containers. silentmuseum.org #museum #culture #humankind #art

Notebook fragment: Exchange objects. A large concentration here of objects in near-perfect condition, still in sealed packaging. Produced for exchange rather than use. Their value resided in their unuse. To open them was to diminish them. silentmuseum.org #museum #culture #humankind #art #society

Does Amazon want to own you (and your books)?
Amazon’s removal of the ability to download your ebook files is annoying. But it’s possible it also suggests a more sinister intention.

The Globalization of Copyright Exceptions for AI Training papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abs… (Matthew Sag) #AI #copyright #training
Text Shot: A key lesson of our cross-country survey is that globally, the binary policy debate that assumes that text and data mining and AI training must be categorically condemned or applauded has been eclipsed by a more granular debate about the specific circumstances in which the unauthorized use of copyrighted works for AI training should be allowed or prohibited. Countries that have hesitated until now to modernize their copyright laws in the area of AI training have several templates open to them and little reason for hesitation.
