Join us for a conversation with some remarkable artists and photographers about what AI means for their work in photography.

Digital Scholarship at Oxford@discoxford.bsky.social · 10mo ago

What is photography when images can be created in a moment? What is 'truth?' What is 'real?' At a historic moment in photography, join our conversation on photography and truth in times of AI. 3pm, 4 November, Maison Française d'Oxford (@mfoxford.bsky.social). photooxford.org/events/photo...

As we roll on towards Michaelmas, I am reminded that it was fifteen years ago this month that my piece 'Factum est silentium' was first performed at St Paul's Cathedral. It got a couple of outings over the next few years, but I'm not sure if anyone else has ever performed it. #choralmusic

My colleague @goran-gaber.bsky.social is thought-provoking as always in this article - a pleasure to read, and a pleasure to think on.

Why does contemporary theory of history neglect digital archival scholarship and how does this affect its understanding of the politics of history? Read about it in my new paper for @tandfresearch.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #digitalhumanities #archives #history #politics

It's freezing outside, and so it seems apt to share something icy. I rate these two pictures amongst the most pleasing I have taken, thus far. They were worth a cold early start. For the technically curious: Pentax SPII, SMC Takumar 50/1.4, Rollei RPX 400 film developed in 510 Pyro.

Preservation is at the heart of what we do. This year, we released the Vanishing Culture report— detailing instances of cultural loss and emphasizing the role that libraries and archives play in preserving materials.

I’ve been giving X a hard eye for the year or so since Elon Musk took ownership and my very small share in the company was returned to me. Now, though, his outright support for destabilising hard-right movers like Farrage in the UK and the AFD in Germany tells a story that it’s impossible to ignore.

You can take the boy out of the church, but .... For the beginning of Advent, 'Drop down, ye heavens.' There are proper recordings on various platforms, but this was the première. I finished writing it a whole hour or so beforehand ... on.soundcloud.com/6B7h7M1CNyEK... #choral #music #advent

Drop down, ye heavens

A setting of Isaiah 45.8 for SAATB choir. Written for and first performed by the St John's Compline Singers in St John's College Chapel, Cambridge, 3rd December 2010. Score available from Score Exc

I'm looking forward to hearing how people receive and use these! There's a nice open-endedness to a lot of the steps, suggesting things to consider rather than presenting a didactic 'one true way,' which (I hope!) is valuable in an evolving field. #digitisatalcollections

Alongside the TaNC Policy Recommendations, these training materials could become a National credited programme around the world. These resources can always be expanded to include other technologies and workflows from the Global South.

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like
