Walter Ruttmann was a German film director born in 1887 who studied painting and architecture and began his film career in the 1920s creating "absolute films" as part of the avant-garde movement. Some of his most notable films include Opus I from 1921, Berlin: Symphony of a Great City from 1927, and Weekend: An Urban Landscape.

The document discusses technologies that could be used instead of physical restoration for historic sites, using Notre Dame Cathedral as an example. It argues that 3D printing, virtual reality, and augmented reality could help preserve cultural heritage more efficiently by replicating artifacts, recreating historic experiences, and digitally filling in missing parts without conducting expensive physical restoration. While some fear these technologies may distort history, the document asserts they could increase access to cultural sites if used to supplement, not replace, physical locations and artifacts.
This document summarizes and discusses several artworks and projects that involve collecting and copying digital information and images from the internet. It describes Penelope Umbrico's ongoing project of collecting sunsets from Flickr, Hans-Peter Feldmann's collections of photographs of clothes and seated women, and examples of art collections by Aby Warburg and John Baldessari. It also discusses projects by Jon Rafman, Natalie Bookchin, Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenschied that collect and recontextualize Google Street View and other online images. The document argues that these artists use digital collecting and copying to create new meaning and contextualize fragmented online information.
In this class we discuss the fact that the "New York Five" is largely a misnomer, grouping architects who are rather diverse, particularly with respect to their fidelity to the modernist tradition.

Museum x.0: Digital Future or Firewood Rental?Thomas Tunsch
Museum objects have been incompletely digitized in terms of quantity so far. The quality of digitization also shows shortcomings. In addition to the standardized and structured collection of extrinsic data, the complete collection of intrinsic data is not only a special challenge but also an indispensable necessity for modeling digital twins.
So far, Digitalization is mainly limited to the simple representation of analog objects with the help of digital media. Communication structures and methods of Web 2.0 or the semantic web are lacking, thus a comprehensive, standardized and complex structured digital information space for museum objects is not yet possible.
The digital information space is a prerequisite for the creation of digital twins. The ideational value of the objects as a basis of cultural heritage can be found in the long-term available data and their use. Therefore, the power of disposal and interpretative authority over the originals must be replaced by collaborative structures and the collective use of resources in order to guarantee the future of the museum in the information space.
What are the emerging trends in technology shaping the visit experience at the museum? How can museums harness their collection and displays to create a playful inviting immersive environments? How can museums encourage new forms of storytelling by blending digital technologies and the physical realm?

This document discusses the challenges of representing cultural heritage digitally in an integrated and contextualized manner. It argues that current digital representations are still fragmented and disruptive due to using rigid classifications rather than conceptual models that capture relationships. The paper advocates learning from past practices like Wunderkammer collections that integrated diverse objects conceptually. A conceptual reference model is proposed to bridge divisions between collections and allow exploration of heterogeneous cultural data in meaningful ways.
This document summarizes a student's presentation on recreating a history lesson on Egypt. The student discusses presenting information on Tutankhamen's tomb and the archaeologist Howard Carter who discovered it. Students are assigned research on Carter and to diagram the dig site. The presentation then covers the Great Pyramid of Giza, discussing its interior chambers and mysteries. Students are tasked to research how the pyramid was built and present their findings in groups. The presentation concludes with discussing different teaching methods used and creating a comparison table of tombs and pyramids.
Design Fiction: A short slideshow on design, science, fact and fictionJulian Bleecker
http://cli.gs/DesignFictionEssay
An exploration of the entanglements amongst science fiction and science fact, in order to show how they are not distinct, but infinitely knotted together. Why do this? In order to wonder — what are effective ways of designing the future?
Design fiction is making things that tell stories. It's like science-fiction in that the stories bring into focus certain matters-of-concern, such as how life is lived, questioning how technology is used and its implications, its ability to speculate about the course of events; all of the unique abilities of science fiction to incite imagination-filling conversations about possible habitable, life-affirming future worlds.

Data Harmonisation for Ethical Collaborative Research:The ResearchSpace ProjectDominic Oldman
This document discusses the history of data harmonization efforts in museums from the 18th century to present day. It notes that early museum collections combined natural and artificial objects without strict categorization. In the 19th century, specialization led to division and silos within museums. Recent digital efforts have struggled with standardization and allowing different perspectives to coexist. The document advocates for a contextual approach to data harmonization using the CIDOC CRM to allow unique collections and viewpoints while also enabling interoperability and new research questions across institutions.
This document provides information about the EVA/Minerva 2015 conference in Jerusalem, including the keynote speaker, plenary speakers from the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute and The Israel Museum, and networking sessions that were part of the event.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

“Nefertiti is returning to the place where it
was found. For the first time since the
sculpture was excavated and stolen over 100
years ago, the iconic artefact will be shown
in Cairo….Al-Badri and Nelles scanned the
head of Nefertiti without permission of the
museum, and they hereby announce the release
of the 3D data under a Creative Common
License”
11. The Artists’ Response
Maybe it was a server hack, a copy scan, an inside job, the
cleaner, a hoax. It can be all of this, it can be everything...The
whole question about originality and authenticity is the same in
data as well as in artifacts, and as well in our effort. And, of
course, that is our point...museums are telling fictional stories,
their stories, just because they control the artifacts and the way
of representation.

actually has an enforceable copyright. … There is no
reason to think that an accurate scan of a physical object

Editor's Notes
In the next few minutes I will talk to you about an artistic intervention from a few years ago that I have always found fascinating especially because of the discussions and debates it has generated. The so-called Nefertiti Hack, or ‘The Other Nefertiti’ as its two artists named it. And although the original intervention dates back to 2016 it resurfaced a few months ago in the context of the celebrations for the New Egyptian museum and The Pharaohs' Golden Parade. But let’s take things from the beginning….
Very few artefacts have been admired and copied as much as the bust of Nefertiti.
It was unearthed in 1912 in Amarna, Egypt. It is dated in the mid 14th century BCE (1345 BC).
The site was excavated by a German archaeological team and as was typical of all foreign excavations, toward the end of the excavation campaign, there was a partage to equally divide the finds between the two groups.
And this was done only with pictures. The person who oversaw the excavation presented the pictures of the finds and then the two sides created a list. At the top of the list for the Egyptian side was an altarpiece now known as the “Stele of Akhenaten and his family”; on the German side the bust of Nefertiti was listed in this position as an object of equal value.
And there are many rumours about these negotiations, for example, that the German archaeologist diminished the bust's value by arguing that it was made of Gypsum and showing a photograph that concealed the bust's beauty.
Nefertiti was shipped to Germany in 1913. The bust was revealed to the public ten years later as part of the Egyptian Museum of Berlin.
During and after WWII the bust was moved to different locations, including the cellar of the Prussian Governmental Bank and a salt mine in Thuringia.
It was moved to different museums from 1946 until 2009. Since then, it is exhibited in the renovated Νόιες (Neues) Museum in Berlin.
Since the public display of the bust in Germany, in 1923, Egypt has repeatedly asked for its repatriation – with the most recent one last year. However, Germany has denied all such requests, even despite the threats from Egypt to ban the exhibitions of Egyptian artefacts in Germany.
Among the various controversies that the bust has sparked is the one that claims that it is fake, either created by Borchardt to test ancient pigments or crafted by Hitler's orders as the original was lost in WWII.

was publicly displayed at the Museum Wiesbaden until 1956 when it was moved to west Berlin, at the Dahlem Museum. From 1967 to 2005 the bust was moved to the Egyptian Museum in Charlottenburg. In 2005 it was moved to the Altes Museum and since 2009 it is exhibited in the renovated Neus Museum.
However, a computed tomography scanning of the bust in 2009 (Huppertz et al.) proved its genuineness.
And there are many more controversies, especially in terms of cultural appropriation, but we don’t have the time to delve into these now…because
what I want to really talk to you about is another controversy that was sparked by the 2016 artistic intervention 'The Other Nefertiti' by two German artists, Nora Al-Badri and Jan Nikolai Nelles (Νέλς).
And what you see on your screen is the two artists posing next to a life-size 3D printed Nefertiti bust.
In 2016, the two artists released this website which included a hi-resolution 3D model of the bust, under a Creative Commons Licence for anybody to 'access, study, print or remix’ it.
A digital version of the bust although existed long before this intervention, it was never released to the public. As the two artists said ‘Nefertiti is returning to the place where it was found. For the first time since the sculpture was excavated and stolen over 100 years ago, the iconic artefact will be shown in Cairo….Al-Badri and Nelles (Νέλς) scanned the head of Nefertiti without permission of the museum and they hereby announce the release of the 3D data under a Creative Common License’
As a proof of how the two artists did it, they released a video that shows them scanning the bust in the museum.
As you can see in the video, the two artists entered the museum together. Nelles (Νελς) is video recording Al-Badri, who has a scanning device hidden under her scarf. The video shows her going around the display case, and revealing the device to 3D capture the bust.
For those of you who are into gaming you may remember Kinect that was released my Microst 10 years ago. Essentially, Kinect was a motion capture device that worked as an interface that allowed playing by using your body and gestures. Essentially, recording movement in 3D. And when this device was released fascinated computer engineers so much that they started modifying it to use it as 3D scanner. Because that was essentially what the device did: identified and captured elements of three dimensional space.
*And this is the device that Al-Badri had under her scarf.
But did they really do it? Did they use this device to scan the bust and produce a 3D model? The answer is No!
And this is for many reasons:
The 3D model they released is of really high quality and Kinect could not produce such high-end results
The bust is in a glass display case. Glass, and reflections by lights and people are the enemy of 3D scanning. These devices work by emitting a laser or light pattern and these get distorted by glass or reflections.
Also, in order to produce an accurate 3D model, the whole object needs to be sufficiently scanned. Based on the position of the kinect sensor, the upper part of the bust was not in the field of view and therefore the amount of detail produced cannot be justified.
Everything pointed to a hoax. It seems that the artists were not alone in this intervention. It is not clear with whom they collaborated but there is a chance that the 3D model was an internal leak, since the museum had already produced a high-quality scan of the Nefertiti bust in the past.
To these allegations the two artists responded that “Maybe it was a server hack, a copy scan, an inside job, the cleaner, a hoax. It can be all of this, it can be everything...The whole question about originality and authenticity is the same in data as well as in artifacts, and as well in our effort. And, of course, that is our point...museums are telling fictional stories, their stories, just because they control the artifacts and the way of representation.”
Despite this controversy, it is very interesting to see how the public and other artists responded to this intervention by 3D printing in different materials, remixing it, producing artistic interventions and interactive exhibits, as well as digital artworks.
After the hoax heist, Cosmo Wenman, an artist specializing in 3D, and also an open access activist, launched his own campaign to acquire the museum’s original scans. He was one of the first who argued that Al-Badri and Nelles could not have done it themselves. Therefore, his motivation was to compare the model they released with the model that the museum already had
In August 2016,, he sent the Egyptian Museum a request for the scan, citing German freedom of information laws, which grant everyone an unconditional right to access official information from federal agencies.
The museum quickly referred the matter to the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, which oversees Berlin's state museums. When it received my records request, it acknowledged the existence of the Nefertiti scan and acknowledged that the organization was required by law to give access to it. But the used the ‘gift shop defense’ declared that directly giving copies of the scan data would threaten its commercial interests“
The foundation offered to let Wenman "inspect" the data in a controlled setting, at the German consulate in Los Angeles. but the consulate then mysteriously withdrew its offer to assist. Instead, SPK made arrangements for me to inspect the scan at the Los Angeles office of the law firm WilmerHale, one of the most expensive, well-connected law firms in the world.
The foundation had provided a slow, underpowered laptop that was barely capable of displaying the large files.
Wenman argues that it was simply impossible to effectively examine the scan, let alone learn anything new about the original artifact.
He therefore made a new freedom of information request, this time for info about the revenue the museum had from the Nefertiti scan (because that was their argument). Finally, he asked them if they would accept a financial donation in exchange for making their Nefertiti data freely available to the public.
The foundation rejected the idea of accepting a donation in exchange for unrestricted public access to the Nefertiti scan, but it invited Wenman to negotiate over terms and a price for a license to use the scan for his own commercial purposes. Also, they confirmed that they had earned less than 5,000 euro, total, from marketing the Nefertiti scan, or any other scan for that matter. The gift shop defense essentially fell apart.

SPK reiterated that it had no legal obligation to provide the data in this direct format. This was only to address Wenman’s specific concerns about being able to examine it effectively.
Wenman has produced a 35page document that outlines the whole process of negotiation and discussions with authorities and so forth.
But the 3D file also included something very interesting. They had digitally etched a Creative Commons Attribution copyright notice at the bottom of the sculpture. The license outlines three conditions for use of the scan: The model must be attributed to the museum, it cannot be used for commercial purposes and anything made from it must be available for reuse by others.
Michael Weinberg, from the NYU School of Law (Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy), notes that * “Those rules only matter if the institution imposing them actually has an enforceable copyright. … There is no reason to think that an accurate scan of a physical object in the public domain is protected by copyright in the United States.”
Copyright in particular is still a grey area when it comes to 3D technologies. In a recent whitepaper, Weinberg (2016) argues that there is a difference between representational and expressive 3D scans. In the first case, the 3D model is an exact copy of the original, and the person who is producing it, only intends to create an accurate digital representation of the original. On the other hand, expressive scans are used to produce another work of art based on the original, which may have some resemblance to it but it is not its exact representation. Therefore, the scan is the result of a creative approach that involves much more than the technology used in the capturing process. This may mean that in the case of representational scans, the copyright may be retained by the owner of the original, while in the case of expressive scans, copyright of the digital may stay with the person/team who created the digital object.
The (3D) digitisation of heritage artifacts brings to the fore questions in relation to ownership, provenance, and authenticity. Who owns the digital data? Is it the institutions that own the original artefacts or do notions of ownership collapse in the digital realm? Are the digital objects and their remixes less authentic in comparison to the original? Do they retain the aura of the original or do they generate a new aura as the result of the different types and levels of engagement with the public?
the ethical dimension of 'hyperownership', i.e. when the rightful owners of an artefact that is part of the public domain may decide to exert their rights, e.g. by maintaining control over copying or use of copies. This will ultimately bring economic benefits (while protecting the artefacts), however, the question that we should ask here is: is it ethical to do so? Should the distribution of public domain artefacts be allowed or even encouraged or shall they remain part of cultural and political hegemonies (χιτζέμονις) and authorised heritage discources?
In 2015, artists Nora Al-Badri and Jan Nikolai Nelles intervened in order to disrupt this “digital colonialism.” drawing attention to hoarding practices not only of ancient collections but also of their digital counterparts. The hack used the tools of “data collection and presentation to undo the regimes of authority and property over which the museum still asserts sovereignty (σόβερντυ).”
Thank you!

Such museum interventions also underscore that the “digital repatriation” of objects by museums can never replace physical repatriation.
