  1. Museen sind nicht nur Anwender von KI, sondern auch Orte, an denen Gesellschaften ihr Verhältnis zu Technologie verhandeln. Eine spannende Tagung in Loughborough widmet sich genau dieser Frage: Wie können Museen KI vermitteln, kritisch reflektieren und kulturell einordnen?

  3. Why we do this work…

    by @beet_keeper

    There aren’t many rewards in a discipline that is about taking the long term view but occasionally something comes up that you can take some pride in.

    Last month, Ed Summers put out a call on Mastodon: digipres.club where he was wrestling with a CD-R format that was difficult to recognize. The disks likely held precious data belonging to his late brother.

    Much of the search area had already been examined and narrowed down by folks in the community, including Misty de Meo, Roxi Ruuska, Ethan Gates, and Johan van der Knijff who all contributed suggestions and analysis..

    Ed was able to share a copy of one of his disk images, and I had some time that I could dedicate to taking a look as well.

    Long-story short, we were able to identify the disks, and Ed has written up the background here: inkdroid.org/2026/06/12/tascam

    The situation might be familiar to others: a digital file that isn’t recognized by the major file format identification tools, and yet, because of its context, you know it is something that might be important.

    I have different experiences with these types of files, sometimes they are valuable (and you want to look after them), sometimes they are not (and it can still benefit you to get rid of them). The process of finding this out often follows a similar path.

    In this instance the files turned out to be incredibly valuable and I wanted to elaborate on the path of discovery. Even though it really isn’t very sophisticated, I hope it will be helpful to those with unidentified digital records who might find the task of identifying them quite daunting.

  5. Oops. A virus left its traces on some of the disks. But ... the virus was created only after the author's death! The virus thus becomes a stemmatological tool #retrocomputing #digitalforensics #digitalheritage #borndigital #digitalarchives #digitalhumanities #hacknplay2026

  7. What do you do when you receive a collection of 115 floppy disks without any indication of order or content? Pick one (do not forget to make a forensic copy) and take a peek! #retrocomputing #digitalforensics #digitalheritage #borndigital #digitalarchives #digitalhumanities #hacknplay2026

  9. Digital philology thus allows to study not only what was written, but how something was written in digital environments (blackened text in the image is still unpublished) #retrocomputing #digitalforensics #digitalheritage #borndigital #digitalarchives #digitalhumanities #hacknplay2026

  11. The end of digital text is sometimes not the end of digital text. Some files - especially such created by Word - have invisible extensions. In this case, they contain text which was deleted before a file was saved. This can be quite interesting material! #retrocomputing #digitalforensics #digitalheritage #borndigital #digitalarchives #digitalhumanities #hacknplay2026

  13. Digitality starts with at least two distinct symbols, typically 0 and 1, but it could also be 🍎 and 🍐 - the computer does not care. The computer decodes groups of binaries into something that humans can understand. This interpretation process is arbitrary: it relies on knowledge about what is encoded. Was it intended to represent a number or a letter? #retrocomputing #digitalforensics #digitalheritage #borndigital #digitalarchives #digitalhumanities #hacknplay2026

  15. In the humanities, digital forensics, however yet untypical, are gaining ground. It allows, for example, retrace the creative process, much like classical text genesis, but in another medium. If a writer uses a computer, this process will be untraceable without a digital philology #retrocomputing #digitalforensics #digitalheritage #borndigital #digitalarchives #digitalhumanities #hacknplay2026

  17. The archive is changing because writing practices are changing, and this is an ongoing and very silent process. That is the moment for digital forensics. First, make a forensic copy - legally equivalent to the original - to save the data from obsolescence #retrocomputing #digitalforensics #digitalheritage #borndigital #digitalarchives #digitalhumanities #hacknplay2026

  19. The archive is changing! What was once a symbol for "save file" became not only a funny retro emoji, but an actual challenge for the archives. What to do with digital media we do not even know any more from own experience? #retrocomputing #digitalforensics #digitalheritage #borndigital #digitalarchives #digitalhumanities #hacknplay2026

  29. Digital technologies transformed the way we document, analyse, and interpret cultural heritage. The emerging Digital Twin sector is shifting towards new 3D data aggregation model that are far more than 3D geometries.

    As Guest Editor, I’m pleased to announce the Special Issue “From Reality Capture to Digital Twins: 3D Survey, HBIM, Reverse Engineering and Reconstruction Workflows” in Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage.

  32. Пре два дана сам започео израду нове верзије сајта за чување културно-историјског наслеђа Панчева. Овога пута, пројекат се шири и визија је да овај сајт буде централни сајт за више градова. Објављиваћу свој напредак овде.
