Ah, the classic tale: 🦾 AI bots vs. cultural heritage! Who knew that our beloved digital museums would get swarmed by bots like a nerdy version of Godzilla? 🏛️🤖 But fear not, 2025 is here to save the day... or at least write a really long report about it. 📜😂

Ein paar meiner Texte zum Thema Digitalisierung in Museen und Plattformkritik als Linkliste:

https://nullmuseum.hypotheses.org/914

Darum geht es in den Texten:

Von welchen Geschäftsmodellen haben sich Museen beim Speichern und Verbreiten der Sammlungen abhängig gemacht?

Museen pflegen aber auch selbst digitale Plattformen, haben eine lange Geschichte der offenen Standards und digitalen Vernetzung.

Was bedeuten diese beiden Punkte für ihre Rolle in den Plattformdebatten?

Ein paar Texte von mir zu dezentralen Social Media Plattformen und warum sie der Ort für vernetzes Wissen sein sollten:

Digitale Projekte von Museen und Bibliotheken und ihre Ansprüche des Bewahrens, Erforschens und Diskutierens:

Archivieren und Ausstellen als Netzkultur gegen die gegenwärtige Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie der Social Media Feeds (S. 62f. in diesem Buch:)

Netzkultur als Begriff verweist auf die politischen Dimension des Konflikts:

"Network culture and online collections, theory for the politics of digital museums"

A blog post on how the idea of a contested "network culture" by Tiziana Terranova (@synthesiastica) from 2004 can help us to analyze the role of digital heritage institutions in today's debates about openess versus extractivism in digital networks:
