How do we preserve lost histories? Swilk’s installation at the Internet Archive made the digital physical. Textiles pulsed & breathed when users accessed archived HIV/AIDS resources, many altered or gone from the live web.

"AI can predict words that are likely to appear beside one another. But mistaking these predictions for information carries real risks of amplifying bad data science. AI tools are capable of following orders but incapable of replacing collective decision-making—and cannot be allowed to do so."

It was a great second day at #CILDC! Glad to see an archival session as well. Maybe next year a cataloging session will sneak in there...

Starting to write something in the vein of “BIBFRAME must die” - thinking about linked (but not always open) data and who owns the rules, sources, and outputs of cataloging. Lots of fun galaxy-brain stuff.

Photo of a gray and white cat laying in the sun. She’s playing with a rainbow catnip toy with her tongue out.
First post should always be your cat imo
