Mapping the art 🗺️
At @smk, we've mapped the motifs in artworks in the museum collection to coordinates 📍
This makes the art explorable by location (the more ways to explore, the better, in our humble opinion).
See it in action @ our online collection SMK Open: https://open.smk.dk/en/map?q=*#2.16/70.25/-19.32

Footnote # 1: This replaces an earlier, less integrated setup
Footnote # 2: We've replaced Google Maps with @openstreetmap

This will be very interesting to a very small group of people: 'For cultural institutions that provide metadata to the data space for cultural heritage, the implementation of IIIF Change Discovery provides an alternative to implementing OAI-PMH.' https://pro.europeana.eu/post/delivering-metadata-to-europeana-via-the-iiif-change-discovery-api

I wasn't surprised to see Rob Sanderson quoted in this, because rich vs aligned semantics - specifically , wanting both at the same time - is *such* a cultural heritage data interoperability problem #MuseTech

So, I just posted about AI in arts grantmaking, coming out of a session I moderated at Grantmakers In the Arts. Realizing how hard it is these days to post anything about AI without it sounding like clickbait.

But anyway, #AI probably *is* changing grantmaking (and #philanthropy) in some nice ways and in some very gross ways. Read all about it on my website that I made, all by myself!
