Mary Miss’s 'Greenwood Pond: Double Site' (1989–96), a major US-based land artwork, to be being deaccessioned and demolished. A super interesting case study on the challenges of stewarding 'ephemeral'/ecological art
Land Artist Awarded Nearly $1M in Iowa Museum Settlement
Mary Miss filed a breach of contract suit against the Des Moines Art Center last year after it moved to deaccession "Greenwood Pond: Double Site.”

GLAM institutions are embracing open, machine-readable datasets.
While transformative, this shift brings ethical and governance challenges in AI integration.

In this work we ask: how should GLAMs account for the emergence of AI-driven experiences built upon GLAM datasets?

What’s After Post-Internet Art? | Spike Art Magazine
Technoromanticism may find the sublime by devirtualizing online culture – or usher in an end-times of Gothic circuit board worship.

I had the opportunity to do a quick interview with David Shrigley at NGV a few weeks back! Realise it's the sort of thing I should be posting here 🎾 ocula.com/magazine/art...

When the clock strikes midnight on January 1, works of art & culture from 1928 will enter the public domain in the US, meaning they can be remixed & reused in new creative works. And 1928 was a big year, thanks to a famous mouse...

Join our celebrations: blog.archive.org/2023/12/05/w...
The imaginary cover to a 1928 issue of "Weird Tales from the Public Domain" features a fat cat in a top hat, smoking a cigar, strangling a mouse. The tagline of "Freeing culture from corporate captivity" runs along the bottom of the image.

'Still moving forward along the ice field' !!!

(also, this:)
We are often, those of us who engage with the climate crisis in fiction, assailed by a whirlwind of generalities in response to what may hopefully be subtle and contradictory on the page. We are asked: Are you hopeful about the future? Are you pessimistic? Why dystopias? Why not utopias? If I sidestep the question when asked, or turn it into another question, or even take the question and fashion it into some strange blossom and hand it back to the questioner… it is because I believe continuing to write at all about these subjects is inherently a form of hope. I am not frozen. I am engaging. I am still moving forward along the ice field. And if too often we must grapple with the world as it is rather than the hopeful world that could be…this is because we still have not broken free from or untangled and cut through the flawed foundational assumptions that have locked us into this terrible outcome. If Le Guin fortifies me in her fiction, it is because I see this pragmatism in her wor
