Keynote 111/27/2024 ![]() The concept of “computational museology” offers a scaffold for these efforts, as an emergent discipline that unites the two key trajectories of digitization and immersive seeing: uniting machine intelligence with data curation, ontology with visualization, and communities of publics and practitioners with embodied interaction through immersive interfaces. To counter these negative tendencies, digital humanists and museum colleagues must first be vigilant, ethical, and creative in collective efforts to preserve and promote cultural diversity and inclusivity. These processes have led to the dilution of local and regional cultural practices and knowledge to entrench the dominance of global techno-capitalism in knowledge production itself. Algorithms and data analysis techniques further prioritize popular content, which in turn marginalize alternative cultural practices and voices, thus homogenizing cultural knowledge to conform to the demands of techno-capitalist economies. This positivist spin has a counter-revolutionary side, as cultural knowledge is trapped in techno-capitalist systems that concentrate control and ownership of its commodities in the hands of a few. The outer limits of these two revolutions are interconnected yet differentiated by paradigmatic or incremental characteristics and by rupture or cycle, interleaving the past to become active in the present. Immersive systems have encircled ways of seeing and being continuously evolving from 19th-century panoramic and panoptic forms into the pioneering media art of the 20th century to the metaverse of today, and once again we are living through a much heralded “age of experience”. The second orbit involves the counter definition from mathematics-a revolution in 360-degrees. The first trajectory entails transformations in museum practices wrought by digital technologies, which have established new computational knowledge frameworks. This paper presents and analyses two important developments orbiting the domain of digital museology. The present digital and cultural age comprises many intersecting technologies and actors with divergent capacities for “revolution”. “Two-Fold Revolutions: Computational Museology in the Age of Experience” (Source: The British Academy) ![]() (IT) Proposte di contributi Menu Toggle.Réflexions sur les potentiels révolutionnaires en Humanités Numériques.(ES) Convocatoria de ponencias Menu Toggle.(DE) Einreichung von Beiträgen Menu Toggle.Reviewing Guidelines and Recommendations.Smashing the Silos! The Future of Cultural Heritage Information and Visualization.The problem is that MSN sources tend to skew heavily toward the left-leaning opinion sites over news and mostly exclude parallel sources from the right. Similarly, give equal weight to sites on both sides of political issues that lean more heavily toward opinion than news, like LA Times and Huffpost on the left and the National Review and RedState on the right. Or, at least provide equal weight for left-leaning, but still mainly news sources like the Washington Post and right-leaning news sources like Washington Times or NY Post, or networks like ABC News on the left and Fox News on the right. Really, if you have a news feed, it would be nice for an option to include news stories and remove or separate the opinion pieces (I realize that many sites on both sides politically bill themselves as news, but include a lot of opinion, so this is not a black and white distinction). That gets the political opinions off the Widgets bar. My current work-around has been, sadly, to remove most of the news topics, except for tech and entertainment. To its credit, in the Widgets bar, we can turn off the ones we don't like, but no way to elevate the sources we prefer to the Widgets bar. I can't set it to include the news sources I want (in my case, it's primarily my paid WSJ subscription - has excellent hard news and keeps the opinions to the editorials). But it's just so filled with opinion sources, where actual fact-presentation without opinions (true news) is secondary to their agendas. ![]() I keep wanting to like MSN news, and from a technical and UI perspective, I do. I hope the ongoing attention from MS also encourages more third-party Widgets. ![]()
