New article explores the work of Nestoras Papanikolopoulos, a pioneer of digital art in Greece since 1984. A vital step in recognizing early computer-based art and its marginalization in official discourse.

DAHJNestoras Papanikolopoulos, A Pioneer of Digital Art in Greece — DAHJNow that the digital image has penetrated most aspects of human activity and, consequently, of art, it is time to acknowledge the contribution of artists who opened new paths in the adoption of a practice based on interdisciplinary thinking and contributed to the creative process of the immaterial i

Bald ist mein Buch fertig...

Kapitel 1 zur Transformation von Museen und zur parallelen Digitalisierung der Museen. Fallstudie SMB-digital 1990-2011

Kap. 2 zu Museen und Plattformkapitalismus

Kap. 3 zu semantischen Netzwerken (z.B. Auseinandersetzung mit Netzwerkvisualisierungen, 🢂Screenshot)

Screenshot von Text: Diese Bilderwolken sind durchaus als kritisches Instrument einsetzbar, wenn wir uns zum Beispiel fragen, welche Formen der Repräsentation quantitativ vorherrschen. Wir sehen sogar die Abwesenheit von anderen Repräsentationen durch die Lücken der Wolke. Die Bilderwolke ist kein Erkenntnismedium an sich, sondern erlaubt höchstens, sich die Macht der Sammlung im wahrsten Wortsinn vor Augen zu führen. Die Bilderwolken aber unkritisch als Vermittlungsmedien vorzustellen, wie es in vielen Projekten großer Museen passiert – als vermeintlich ‚neutraler‘ Überblick - zur Erkundung der Sammlungen, verharmlost hingegen die Macht der Sammlungen, die Macht der Repräsentation und der Deutungshoheit. Die ist nun nicht mehr explizit wie in einem Katalogtext oder Schild im Museum, sondern wird durch die Verarbeitung als Raumkoordinaten durch den auf Klassifizierungen trainierten Algorithmus paradoxerweise unsichtbar gemacht. Die Bilderwolke überlagert die Argumentationsweisen, die Ästhetik das Argument.

In my talk ‘Museum criticism for hackers’ at #38C3, I looked at the history of the online collection of the State Museums Berlin, talked about major turning points in digital collections and about a software called GOS developed by the museums in the 20th century.

The talk is an invitation to participate in the critical development, opening and reflection of digital collections, for example by supporting open knowledge networks such as #Wikidata

The talk was in German, but you can listen to the live translation to English and Portuguese. Links to all the versions, on the CCC server and on Youtube:

In meinem Vortrag "Museumskritik für Hacker*innen" beim #38C3 schaue ich mir die Geschichte der online Sammlung der Staatlichen Museen Berlin an, erzähle von Umbrüchen und von einer im 20. Jahrhundert von den Museen entwickelten Software namens GOS.

Der Talk ist eine Einladung sich an der kritischen Weiterentwicklung, Öffnung und Reflexion von digitalen Sammlungen zu beteiligen, zum Beispiel durch die Unterstützung von offenen Wissensnetzwerken wie #Wikidata

Quantitative Network Analysis in Investigating Global Processes of Contemporary Artistic Production by Júlia Perczel highlights how network analysis aids understanding the global art market. By integrating digital and critical theory approaches, it uncovers art market dynamics, institutional practices, and transformations in local art scenes. However, it also reveals the challenge of balancing institutional analysis with aesthetic considerations.

Martina Bobinac’s study, A Discursive Analysis of 1950–1990 Articles on Croatia’s “Non-European” Ethnographic Collection, traces shifts in the portrayal of the “Other” in Croatian public and cultural spheres. Using Python-based natural language processing, the study analyzes 81 articles to observe a transition from colonial to anti-colonial discourse, aligned with Yugoslavia’s Non-Aligned Movement. hrcak.srce.hr/file/467634 #DigitalArtHistory #PostcolonialStudies

“Annotating Upstream: Digital Scholars, Art History, and the Interoperable Image” by Matthew J. Westerby explores the practice of “annotating upstream” within IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) to enhance art historical discourse. This approach emphasizes creating and maintaining one’s own annotation systems to ensure data sustainability and contextual integrity.

Open Library of HumanitiesAnnotating Upstream: Digital Scholars, Art History, and the Interoperable ImageWritten primarily from the position of an art historian engaged in digital research and data-intensive projects, this essay explores annotations on interoperable images and the possibility for annotations as “thick data.” Images and descriptive metadata can be used and re-used in any number of contexts, but annotations are contextual fragments of scholarly insights that do not translate easily across domains. While data models for web annotation are clearly defined in a technical sense, their implementation is socially motivated. This essay gives a very brief overview the ecosystem of IIIF annotations as outgrowths of sandbox projects and Open Access initiatives at art museums and libraries. I suggest that art historians should practice “upstream annotation” by maintaining the data that constitute their annotation outputs while acknowledging the sociotechnical affordances and ephemerality of annotation spaces.
