DailyArt: The unbelievable story of how an educational startup became a business
DailyArt was launched in 2012 as a mobile app, which every day presents one piece of fine art with a short story. Throughout the years it has grown, and now the app reaches 800.000 people monthly and is available in 18 languages. Today, DailyArt now is not just a mobile app but also DailyArtMagazine.com, DailyArt Courses and DailyArt Shop. This is a story of how something very humble – a simple idea based on art masterpieces from open access collections, thanks to matching digital tools and the goodness of people interested in art history from all around the world – grew to a regular business.

Where open cultural content, motors, drilling machines and hot glue meet
What is it like to use digitized open cultural content as a part of creative processes? How is it similar to other materials such as wood, recycled objects, electronics and textiles? What about its unique characteristics? This talk aims to shed light on the nuts and bolts of using cultural heritage collections in hands-on artistic projects and workshops. It is also discussed how we could foster a closer dialogue between the meticulously catalogued digital artefacts and the messy workbench.
About Kati
Kati Hyyppä is a Finnish, Berlin-based artist and educator who works at the intersection of art and technology. Her practise is rooted in materiality and hand-making. Working with materials from recycled objects and electronics to textiles and open cultural content she explores alternative perspectives on our material and technological surroundings. Her projects often include an element of participation, speculation and humour as means to invite people in a closer, alternative dialogue with technology.
The Fifth Estate: A New Old Role for Our Knowledge Institutions
In this presentation, MIT Open Learning’s Peter B. Kaufman discusses the social responsibility of the knowledge sector and knowledge institutions to publish as much information as possible into the online Commons. Kaufman will discuss the challenges to sharing knowledge over time and discuss the new imperatives before us in an age of pandemics, global economic crises, and worldwide disinformation.

The
record has left the building
Introducing Open Data in the GLAM sector means that the mediation
of heritage is not the sole privilege of these institutions anymore. In theory
anyone, anywhere can use heritage material that is fully open, for any purpose.
However, in practise this has not happened to the degree many in the OpenGLAM
community had hoped and others had perhaps feared. While researching the use of
years of digitisation and online publication with various degrees of openness,
I have discovered a lot to celebrate as well as issues that continue to stand
in the way of incorporating OpenGLAM in education, creativity and research. At
Sharing is Caring 2021 I will share this research alongside some of my own
creative endeavours using OpenGLAM records.
About Henriette
Henriette Roued-Cunliffe is an Associate Professor in Digital Humanities at the Department of Communication, University of Copenhagen. With a background in Archaeological Computing and a doctorate examining digital tools for the reading of historic texts, her research is primarily in the use of data and digital tools within heritage. She has adapted this knowledge to teaching Digital Heritage and Data Science in the Humanities, as well as sharing tutorials online. This theoretical, empirical and applied research has resulted in the book Open Heritage Data – An introduction to research, publishing and programming with open data in the heritage sector (2020).
Alongside this she works to understand the data management practices and online interaction of citizen historians (for example family historians and amateur archaeologists). She co-edited the volume Participatory Heritage (2017).
