Would be fab to get some queer museum projects here!

I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created “queer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people.

Not sure if Liv has media training, but here we are.

Chilly and wet walk to start 2025 😊

#ObjectOfTheWeek has to be the absolute unit meme - acquired by the National Science and Media Museum as a digital born object.

The museum's reopening on 8 Jan after an 18 month closure, and the meme will be on display for the first time

Also, welcome to Bluesky @mediamuseum.bsky.social 👋

Breaking my year-long silence here to say hi @ukmcg.bsky.social - fascinating conference with lots to think about on centring user / people’s needs and motivations in digital projects. #MuseTech24

In Rome for the RO.ME Museum Exhibition where I’m hosting a panel on digital collections as open access resources. It’s pretty here.

I do find the name of this “Museum Superstore” somewhat misleading. It’s proximity to the British Museum gave pause for thought too… 👀
