"The Museums Computer Group are delighted to announce George Oates as the opening keynote speaker at UKMW14. As the creator of Flickr Commons, she’s had a huge impact on the cultural sector. As if that wasn’t enough, her wider experience has given her an international and interdisciplinary perspective on design and technology, and a sense of which developments in the digital world are important for audiences. With a wave of her magic wand, her keynote will take a long view on the digital heritage sector. Which significant changes in the digital world have affected the UK museum sector in the past few years, and how have cultural organisations prepared themselves for the changes ahead?" http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/2014/10/14/hear-creator-flickr-commons-introducing-ukmw14s-opening-keynote/

It’ll always be nice to get
something to take home.
“I'm not hung up on
authenticity or
anything... It's authentic
because I did it.” Dragan Espenschied
Media Artist, Digital Archaeologist @ Rhizome
“We decided we needed to eliminate the
games because we have to allocate the limited
resources of our staff carefully. We simply
had to acknowledge this was not working
well enough to keep the staff time going.”
Shelley Bernstein, July 2014
