4. “…there are ways where we don’t even need any topdown effort from institutions or museums, but where the people can reclaim the museums as their public space through alternative virtual realities, fiction, or captivating the objects like we did.” Nora Al-Badri and Jan Nikolai Nelles http://hyperallergic.com/274635/artists-covertly-scan-bust-of-nefertiti-and-release-the-data-for-free-online/

5. Copyright is “a little coral reef of private right jutting up from the ocean of Public Domain.” Paul Torremans, Copyright law: a handbook of contemporary research, 2007 Adam Olearius, "Oftt begehrte Beschreibung Der Newen Orienthalischen Reise [...]", Schleswig 1647, KKSgb10873/28, SMK.

6. Works that are in the Public Domain in analogue form continue to be in the Public Domain once they have been digitised. http://pro.europeana.eu/files/Europeana_Professional/Publications/Public%20Domain%20Charter%20-%20EN.pdf

7. Who are we to judge what people do with public domain content? @luscofusco on instagram, feat Cornelisz van Haarlem from SMK

8. “If they want to have a Vermeer on their toilet paper, I’d rather have a very high-quality image of Vermeer on toilet paper than a very bad reproduction.” http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/29/arts/design/museums-mull-public-use-of-online-art-images.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 Taco Dibbits Director, Rijksmuseum

9. Loss of control

10. Regaining control by sharing

11. “Our primary mission is to ‘tell the truth’. We put as much quality in our work as possible. That is why we share the best quality we have. If people google ‘The Milkmaid’ by Vermeer then we want them to find our good quality image, not all the bad and deformed versions of this beautiful painting.” Lizzy Jongma Former data manager, Rijksmuseum

12. SMK’s first digital strategy, 2009 We want to be a catalyst for users’ creativity

13. Requires facilitation http://jeannelking.com/services/graphic-facilitation/

27. ”It is a giant toolbox with a fantastic amount of materials to work with.” “It was a very strong symbiotic experience to be in so close dialogue with the original work. It added a fresh dimension to the permanent collections.” “I have been creating collages using international museum collections for 20-25 years (...) But I have only been able to share them with my friends and family, knowing that if I were to present them publicly I would face legal retribution. Now I am, for the first time, allowed to share my perspective.” CC BY-SA 4.0 Ida Tietgen Høyrup
