I'm pretty sure my neighbour - who is a multiple houses landlord - has been using it when we have been discussing works on our leasehold building. The professionalisation of language from previous text exchanges is fascinating!

The ChatGPT secret: is that text message from your friend, your lover – or a robot?

People are turning to chatbots to solve all their life problems, and they like its answers. But are they on a very slippery slope?

I wrote a lot about the contemporary purpose of museums, libraries and archives in my PhD, and my visit to Oslo last week made me think back to the work that was happening in New York when I spent a summer there in 2012. It's not digital that's interesting, it's how digital shapes society ...

Key Trend 01 Embracing contemporary culture to develop new audiences Collections provide us with a unique link to the past, but to be interesting to the average visitor, they must also provide a link to the present. Visitors want to know how a museum and its collection are relevant to them today. While in New York I came across a number of interesting events, programmes and exhibitions that demonstrated the contemporary relevance of museums and their collections, for this report I have selected three case studies which demonstrate that this approach requires vision rather than infinite resources.Key Trend 2: The museum as a place for experimentation and innovation by visitors New Technologies are beginning to shift the way visitors are learning. A new model of collaborative learning is beginning to emerge. Whilst museum educators continue to teach visitors about the museum’s collections, increasingly museum visitors are providing museums themselves with new ways to view their collection. Whilst still a relatively new phenomena this trend marks a radical shift away from educator workshops with a defined, pre planned outcome.Key Trend 3: Skill sharing and reflective practice Agile thinking and practices are somewhat at odds with museum culture, museums have reputation for being slow, often bureaucratic institutions. While I was in New York I was excited to see a range of digital education, marketing, collections and web teams tackle this legacy of bureaucracy by forming their own informal professional skill sharing networks. These new networks support museum technologists as they seek to create a new more agile and reflective environment that is conducive to and facilitates the development of emerging practice. These networks can be divided into three categories, informal events, conferences and social networks.Key Trend 4: The museum as an innovative, agile, mission lead institution It was clear that museums in New York are invested in the future. The old argument ‘if we put everything online people won’t visit’ has been blown out of the water and many museums in New York now recognise that to succeed now and in the future they must develop a culture of research and development that responds to, challenges and works with contemporary culture and technological advancements. It was interesting to see how museums in New York are beginning to recognise that throwing money at singular digital projects is not enough. Instead it was evident that a number of key international museums have begun to see digital technologies and research and development as a key strategic priority and as such are creating departments staffed with people from a range of backgrounds and skill sets to work with the museum as a whole. This strategic approach of creating departments tasked with R&D, emerging technologies, and creating sustainable practices, demonstrates an interesting human resource approach to joined up thinking that will allow museums to use their historical and contemporary collections in a way that is relevant and engaging to visitors both today and tomorrow.

Great insights, especially in the article: "Digital art work and AI: a new paradigm for work in the contemporary art sector in China" Artistic practices are changing - the artisanal labour is still there, it is just taking a different shape.

I'm currently editing a special issue on 'Artificial Intelligence: Cultural Policy, Management, Education, and Research' we are publishing as we go - with editorial coming out in new year www.frontierspartnerships.org/research-top...

I made a starter pack but it made me tense because all taxonomies are political and no, I absolutely did not overthink this. Also! It is really hard to find people in your graph who have fewer followers. Bluesky should let you sort the list with least followers first. go.bsky.app/VFxSES6

Norway does good museums and dramatic skies. Was torn between looking at the art and the big skies yesterday afternoon. Apparently the building is designed to have that impact - framing the city and the art, and it hits the nail on the head.

Managed to get a ticket for the Van Gogh exhibition at The National Gallery - for one of the 7pm slots last week. Enjoyed the contrast of sunny paintings and dark dark London in Nov... next up ... attempt to get a ticket for the sold out Monet at the Courtauld before it finishes 🕵️‍♀️🎨

The fact that UCC hid a 3000-year-old mummy under the floorboards of a lecture theatre on a campus where two and a half tonnes of uranium rods were being stored in a basement nearby and DIDN'T end up with a zombie-pharaoh apocalypse is both a mystery and endlessly disappointing

I'm out at a gig in London on Thursday. We are all coming after work, but the 'no bags' rule means we can't bring our 'day bags' with us. One friend might have to drop out if she can't bring her laptop. I get it for security, but surely it puts people off going to gigs afterwork / midweek?
