В январе сгорел дом, а с ним и коллекция художника Джона Ауттербриджа (1933–2020), дочь художника Тами Ауттербридж пригласила по:дру:г-художни:ц отца посмотреть на последствия пожара, чтобы они могли создать из найденных предметов какую-то новую работу о её отце. Откликнулись и подключились к проекту 25 человек:инь. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2025-08-14/john-outterbridge-daughter-tami-digging-bridge-altadena-eaton-fire?utm_medium=email&utm_source=exacttarget&utm_campaign=Breakfast+-+08.15.2025&utm_content=626969_8-15-2025&utm_id=626969 #JohnOutterbridge #TamiOutterbridge #artarchives

Art archives are dynamic networks that preserve artistic expression, lessons, and experiences for future generations. They enrich shared knowledge and inspire innovation! 📚🎨 #ArtArchives #CreativeNetwork #Innovation
And staying on the topic of using (various) #Wikimedia software products for art and culture, I also published a blog post with the #ArtDocArchive project earlier this year... Didn't share the Zenodo link until now, so here it is: https://zenodo.org/records/7886825
I outline three case study projects - Rhizome's ArtBase; The Digital Archive of Artists' Publishing; and the Joan Jonas Knowledge Base.
With thanks to @lukasfx for inviting me to take part in the project.
Artist websites are sites of art where ‘digital social memory’ gets accrued over time. As such, they require preservation care similar to other forms of cultural heritage. This essay describes several sets of medium-specific, socio-technical challenges to archiving artist websites connected to the processes of both archiving published materials on the web, as well as subsequently providing access to these materials via an indexed database. These challenges can be grouped under the rubrics of ethics, technology, curation, as well as cataloguing and sustainability. The primary focus of the essay is to discuss the challenges – and opportunities – associated with cataloguing and structuring digital archive (meta)data, by drawing upon findings from the practice-led research project to redesign the ArtBase archive of net art, alongside two further case studies. All case studies present critical engagements with Linked Open Data (LOD) software environments as means to collaboratively organize, store and provide access to heterogeneous archive data on the web. The possibility to capture and represent complex networks of relations and dependencies through the flexible structure of LOD is key to the concluding policy recommendations.
