@ricmac @laurenshof @evan I am working on it / the challenge is not technical (we could do it yesterday) so much as organizational (and not limited to sfo museum) / and then further complicated by concerns over who has the authority to speak on behalf of those works particularly in the case of living artists / and if you think that museums should proactively work to facilitate those voices on behalf of artists and their estates / then we agree – https://www.aaronland.info/weblog/2022/06/17/expectations/#usf-049

@jessamyn @anildash there is a whole other side-car (clown-car?) discussion about whether or not a limit on the number of photos in a gallery is meaningful / but the motivation behind the “galleries” project at flickr was to explicitly try and push back against the fetishization and dysfunction of the “explore” and “interestingness” algorithms / and demonstrate to people that their understanding of the site was better than robot-eyes or math / https://blog.flickr.net/en/2009/09/14/galleries-unleash-your-inner-curator/ and https://www.aaronland.info/weblog/2010/04/05/milkshake/#buckets

I have finally written up the notes from the talk I gave to a #museum studies class at usf recently / this one is long even by standards and covers a lot of ground / it is titled "talking about the pen without talking about the pen" – https://www.aaronland.info/weblog/2024/04/26/matrix/#usf

I have a question for activitypub peoples: When writing and delivering posts by “hand” and not using a client what is the syntax for ensuring clients receiving those posts recognize and treat inline AP addresses as such. For an example, see the image in this post - https://orthis.social/@thisisaaronland/112300613398209589

"Importantly, these means (ActvityPub) can serve as a kind of vehicle by which we are able to guarantee that the objects in our collection, which by virtue of their inclusion we argue means they are worthy of repeated consideration, can enjoy a kind of repeat visitation. Even if that revisitation is virtual it fosters the practice of seeing, and re-seeing, the objects in our collections more than once." – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/blog/2024/03/12/activitypub/

@lmorchard @evan @simon @luis_in_brief it seems as though there is a need for a privatesquare-style client that double-posts first to a local archive and then on to a specific instance / the fact that very few people have the interest or the bandwidth to manage their own archives or tooling explains a lot about where we are though/ fun fact: at this point you enter colliding-identifiers territory which, in the case of privatesquare, gave birth to “artisanal integers” – https://github.com/straup/privatesquare
