In 2012, Steve Green, billionaire and president of the Hobby Lobby chain of craft stores, announced a recent purchase of a Biblical artefact—a fragment of papyrus, just discovered, carrying lines from Paul's letter to the Romans, and dated to the second century CE. Noted scholar Roberta Mazza was stunned. When was this piece discovered, and how could Green acquire such a rare item? The answers, which Mazza spent the next ten years uncovering, came as a shock: the fragment had come from a famous collection held at Oxford University, and its rightful owners had no idea it had been sold. The letter to the Romans was not the only extraordinary piece in the Green collection. They soon announced newly recovered fragments from the Gospels and writings of Sappho. Dr. Mazza's quest to confirm the provenance of these priceless fragments revealed shadowy global networks that make big business of ancient manuscripts, from the Greens' Museum of the Bible and world-famous auction houses like Sotheby's and Christie's, to antique shops in Jerusalem and Istanbul, dealers on eBay, and into the collections of renowned museums and universities. Dr. Mazza's investigation informs her book, Stolen Fragments: Black Markets, Bad Faith, and the Illicit Trade in Ancient Artefacts (Redwood Press, 2024), and forces us to ask what happens when the supposed custodians of our ancient heritage act in ways that threaten to destroy it. Stolen Fragments illuminates how these recent dealings are not isolated events, but the inevitable result of longstanding colonial practices and the outcome of generations of scholars who have profited from extracting the cultural heritage of places they claim they wish to preserve. Where is the boundary between protection and exploitation, between scholarship and larceny? Our guest is: Dr. Roberta Mazza, who is Associate Professor of Papyrology at the University of Bologna. She previously held positions at the University of Manchester, where she was honorary curator of the Manchester Museum, and at the University of California, Berkeley. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who works as a developmental editor for scholars, and is the producer of the Academic Life podcast.

University of Missouri officials have been planning a ribbon-cutting ceremony for 11:30 this morning for the $20-million three-story expansion of the MU Research Reactor (MURR), which is near Providence in Columbia. 939 the Eagle News covered the October 2023 groundbreaking ceremony, where then-Governor Mike Parson and others ground broke with a shovel in 90-degree plus heat. UM System President Dr. Mun Choi predicts the expansion will drive more research that will improve and save lives. President Choi has told 939 the Eagle that the expansion will increase radioisotope productions. MURR officials say 1.6-million patients benefit from the medical isotopes produced there every year. UM curator Michael Williams spoke at the 2023 groundbreaking ceremony, noting that MURR is the nation's only producer of four medical isotopes used in lifesaving treatments for liver, thyroid, pancreatic and prostate cancer. Former Congressman Blaine Luekemeyer, who is now a member of the UM Board of Curators, joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri." We also discussed the situation wth MU Health Care and Anthem:

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! The other day I was invited to a bachelorette party. And it wasn't one of those simple, one day parties. NO. This was going to be an all-out, wild, expensive bachelorette weekend in… the city of Las Vegas. And I knew exactly what was going to happen. The shots. Thunder from Down Under. $300 dinners. No sleep. And I'm like… why is everyone obsessed with going to this random, expensive city in the middle of the desert?  Don't get me wrong… I love Vegas. But it's kind of surprising that it's still around. I mean, if you think about it, Vegas has almost been canceled over and over and over again.  I mean there was the mob, the recession, covid, inflation… but Vegas *always* seems to find a way to survive. And I had to get to the bottom of why. So join me on this journey as we discuss The Dark History of… Las Vegas.   I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Emily McElwreath—art advisor, independent curator, educator, and host of The Art Career Podcast. With nearly two decades of experience, Emily has worked with some of the most influential figures in the art world, from Andy Warhol to Alice Neel. She shares how artists can reclaim their power, normalize ambition, and take control of their careers. We also explore what collectors are looking for today, how to navigate the art market, and the evolving role of art advisors. Emily offers practical networking strategies for artists and industry leaders, insights on working with high-profile guests, and details on her recent Art21 collaboration. Plus, she introduces her must-have resource for emerging artists, Navigating the Art World: A Practical Guide for Artists. Whether you're an artist looking to elevate your career or a collector seeking guidance, this episode is filled with expert insights and actionable strategies to help you thrive.   Key Takeaways:   Artists must reclaim their power—they are at the center of the art ecosystem. Ambition is not a dirty word—owning your career is essential for success. Networking isn't about chasing opportunities—it's about building authentic relationships. Art collectors should buy what they love but also stay informed about the market. The art world is unregulated, making it crucial to work with trusted advisors. Artists should not rely solely on galleries—direct sales and relationships matter. Emily's free artist guide, Navigating the Art World, is a must-have resource for emerging artists.   Sound Bites:

There's little debate that AI will change the world. What we're not so sure about is if AI's expected disruptions to how we work will be outweighed by the benefits of accessing a super-intelligence.David Boyle thinks of LLMs as an electric bicycle for the mind, one that enables us to go farther than we ever imagined with much less effort. His opinion comes from being one of the first market researchers to experiment with LLMs and subsequently turn his learnings into the PROMPT series of books to help marketers, startups, researchers, musicians, and other creatives benefit from the emerging technology. He's an audience research expert who has informed global strategies for many of the world's biggest brands.In this episode we explore why David Boyle believes that AI can make strategy & research work faster, cheaper, AND better. Listen on Spotify | Listen on AppleThe conversation explains why any product manager, researcher, strategist, or creative should leverage AI. The greatest advantages are speed and quantity because GenAI overcomes research's most time-intensive tasks: codifying and thematic analysis of large data sets.David admits that one of the biggest challenges is that AI are often confidently wrong and that experts must verify the results.This episode raises important questions:* If AI will make all tasks faster, what changes should we expect to our way of working? Consider how the internet is homogenizing the way we live globally.* If a human expert must verify results, how can we trust the results of AI tasks as soon as the velocity scales past the number of humans in-the-loop?* If executives are excited by AI reducing the cost of research, what will stop them from preferring synthetic or non-human verified data once the cost nears zero?Recommended articlesThe Future of Design: How AI Is Shifting Designers from Makers to Curators by Andy Budd“AI is transforming design, shifting designers from hands-on creators to curators focused on strategy” is the most common prediction about where design is headed. The author believes the design roles will evolve to where and how they can best deliver value and it will likely be in enhancing the quality of work delivered by AI. As optimistic as it sounds —hey everyone wants to be more strategic, yay!— the truth is that in this future scenario, the concept of being a design completely changes with most being dedicated to managing AI tasks and the best assigned to bespoke design tasks that must be perfect. The End of Programming as We Know It by Tim O'reillyMakes a case that each fear cycle about software developers getting replaced actually led to an evolution of the craft. He admits that “Eventually much of what programmers do today may be as obsolete” but that it will be more akin to how the old skill of debugging was replaced with roles tackling more complex tasks. As knowledge workers we have to be concerned because our work can't be quantified and automated in the same way as the production-line model of development.AI agents will replace SaaS software by Ayan MajumdarIn this analysis of the CEO of Microsoft's statements that "AI agents will replace all software" he breaks down common SaaS use cases and whether AI can replace those use cases. He concludes that “The shift towards intelligent agents signifies a move away from manual software interactions towards more intuitive, AI-driven processes.” Overall this is further evidence AI agents could replace the SaaS layer which often only existed to give custom lenses to your own data.AI-Generated Slop Is Already In Your Public Library by Emanuel MaibergThe enshitifaction of knowledge is now hitting libraries. Libraries, once keepers and curators of the world's most important knowledge now can't guarantee the accuracy, provenance, and value of many works being submitted. “My library, like most, does not have the resources to be checking Hoopla on a weekly basis to weed out what we wouldn't want there.”What being replaced by AI in 2025 looks likeWhere does knowledge work go from here?Here's an example of the disruptions possible today where OpenAI's new Deep Research was used in combination with Gamma to do big consultancy-level research into a market and publish a stunning report. All in 2 minutes.Agencies & consultants: Any business that doesn't learn to adopt AI to augment and automate workflows will be at risk of losing niche projects to competitors who are optimized for price, speed, and/or scale. Legacy and large orgs tend to be overloading team members so much to remain profitable that they will be slow to adapt to challengers who will turn AI into a major advantage in a price-sensitive market.Researchers & designers: Orgs are hungry to cut costs and will jump at the opportunity to automate rote tasks. Worse yet the entire value of design and research is becoming so commodified that at least one of your leaders will have the misguided belief that everything you do can be automated. Find a culture that values you and become an expert in leveraging the tools to augment your imagination, planning, iteration, and delivery.Analysts & marketers: AI is giving you an ever-expanding superpower to access more data and analyze it more effectively. Your value only goes up if you challenge your own assumptions of what is possible. Being flexible with the tools, platforms, and methods you use will only lead to better outcomes. Unlike other knowledge workers you're experts in how to deploy copilots and agents effectively because you know how to structure data and requests.Recap from Autonomous AI SummitThis week thousands of industry leaders and strategies attended the Board of Innovation's online summit.

I speak with the curators of the 28 immersive documentary projects being featured at the 18th edition of IDFA DocLab including Caspar Sonnen, Nina van Doren, and Toby Coffey. The theme of this year's program is "This is Not a Simulation," and there were many immersive projects that featured AI this year. We talked about each of the experiences in this year's program, except for the three projects I've previously covered at Venice Immersive 2024 (All I Know About Teacher Li, Fragile Home, & Impulse: Play with Reality) . We also briefly discussed the IDFA campaign around being complicit and challenging neutrality.

The Pratt Museum in Homer, AK welcomes two new curators.

In this conversation, Peter Bauman (Editor-in-Chief at Le Random) interviews Douglas Dodds, a longtime Senior Digital Curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) and a pivotal figure in the preservation of digital art. The discussion covers the challenges of collecting digital art, including sourcing, preserving and showcasing these works in a museum context. Dodds shares insights into the process of acquiring digital art, from identifying valuable pieces to navigating relationships with artists and galleries. He also reflects on the unique historical significance of the V&A's collection, which spans early computer-generated works to contemporary digital media, emphasizing the importance of context in building a cohesive and enduring collection. The interview delves into the role of donations, the complex value of digital art beyond financial metrics, and the delicate relationship between institutions and new digital mediums like NFTs. We get a museum perspective on the concerns of our community.

I interviewed All I Know About Teacher Li director Zhuzmo at Venice Immersive 2024. Due to the sensitivities of the topic of Chinese censorship, then the director Zhuzmo has requested that he remain anonymous. I did an interview face to face with them in Venice, got a transcript, and then fed the text back into a text-to-speech AI at Eleven Labs in order to mask his voice. See more context in the rough transcript below. All I Know About Teacher Li also happened to top the unofficial Venice Immersive 2024 Survey results that I did in collaboration with XR Must for both the Top 5 as well as for the Audience Favorites. I found last year's survey results to be really useful in organizing the order of discussing pieces in our critic's roundtable, but also helping to understand the audience's reaction to the selection. Last year there were 50 respondents, and this year there were 82 respondents who on average saw 21.9 experiences each. Here's a list of the Most Seen experiences from Venice Immersive 2024, which is sort of a proxy for popularity and buzz, but also throughput. The next result is the audience favorites (no limit), which is calculated by how many people listed it as a favorite relative to how many saw it. This tends to have the most robust overview of the entire selection, and is also an interesting calibration process to see what you personally liked vs what might have been favored by the zeitgeist.  Finally the top 5 ranking usually is a proxy for seeing which projects might have been in the running for a jury prize, but there was a lot more variance this year, which was reflected in the range of projects that people were predicting to be a prize winner. The top prize from the jury was awarded to Ito Meikyu, which was ranked 10th by the audience. The second place from the jury went to Oto's Planet, which was ranked 5th. And then the third place from the jury went to Impulse: Playing with Reality, which was ranked 2nd. I find it increasingly difficult to predict what will resonate with the jury as even the audience favorites can vary widely from my own personal favorites. Again what resonates with you may not resonate with others, and there are so many other qualities and nuances of each project that can't be reduced down to numbers. Nonetheless, I found last year's survey results to be quite an interesting cross section and sometimes confirms an intuition and many other times can be surprising. Either way, it's additional data to help make sense of the selection and the industry. Here's my top 10 that I published after finishing watching all of the pieces on Wednesday, August 28th. I about watched 1/3 of the pieces ahead of the festival, 1/3 on the press preview, and the remaining 1/3 on the press & industry day and the first day bookings are available. Also, the essence of each project can't be reduced down to numbers, which is a big motivation that I have to record over 30 hours of coverage for Venice Immersive 2024 over the course of 5 days in order to unpack more of the design process, experiential design tradeoffs, and some of my own embodied experiences and impressions. #1416: Preview of Venice Immersive 2024 Innovations in Immersive Storytelling & Art Installations with Curators #1417: Kicking Off Venice Immersive Converge with Translating "Riven" Classic Point-and-Click Adventure to Open World VR Puzzler #1418: Award-Winning Animators Experiment with Sandbox Social VR "Garden Alchemy" Research Project #1419: Creating a Four-Sided Pepper's Ghost Pyramid Illusion with "Telos I" Dance Piece #1420: Experimental Documentary "Mammary Mountain" Captures Oral Histories of Breast Cancer Journeys #1421: Interactive Mixed Reality Doc on ADHD "Impulse: Playing With Reality" Takes Home Immersive Achievement Prize at Venice Immersive 2024 #1422: A Simple Silence Wraps Up Craig Quintero's Trilogy Exploring Spatial Transformations & Immersive Encounters

Andy talks about the UM Board of Curators approving the Memorial Stadium north end zone renovation, conference realignment news, and more during Thursday's Top Five at Five!

The 8th edition of the Venice Immersive 2024 will be kicking off on August 28th, which will be featuring over 28 hours of immersive storytelling and immersive art content across over 70 different projects. This year there area a lot more immersive installations representing over a third out of the total number of on-site projects (18 out of the 52). There's eight mixed reality projects, a couple of projects featuring haptics, and one that prominently featuring AI character interactions. There are also 20 VRChat worlds in the Worlds Gallery along with 3 VRChat worlds in competition with 1 project that's using Resonite social VR platform. I had a chance to catch up with the co-curators Liz Rosenthal and Michel Reilhac again this year to get a sneak peak of the 26 projects in competition as well as 9 of the projects within the Best of Selection (note we talk about 10 Best of experiences, but it was announced just this morning that the Apple Vision Pro experience Adventure was pulled from the festival after attendees who had it booked received a message from Vivaticket saying, "we regret to inform you that the immersive experience Adventure for which you made a reservation has been cancelled" ). We also talk about how there's going to be a private think tank on September 1st looking at LBE distribution challenges and opportunities. Be sure to check out their previous report titled "Think Tank: Immediate Options to Address the Pressing Needs of Immersive Distribution." 17 out of the 20 VRChat worlds in the Worlds Gallery are already currently publicly available, and the three that are not are Concrete: Pale Sands, SNR Labs Test Facility, and Sanctum (though this one will be available after the festival run). Each of these are featuring some volumetric and holographic shaders that VJs are using in the VRChat clubbing scene, which I covered extensively in my previous three episodes, particularly in #1415 talking with two VRChat VJs and a DJ about the evolution of volumetric effects in music shows. But also check out #1413 where I talk with the SNR Labs team and in #1414 about how dancer SoftlySteph used the holographic shader tech that's demonstrated in the SNR Labs Test Facility experience. Below is a cheat sheet of the Venice Immersive 2024 experiences ordered by length. Note that the Free UR Head is actually closer to 55 minutes, and that Adventure is no longer in the Best of Selection. Also included is a copy of the map for where the experiences are located with some quality of life improvements that I made so that the text is all horizontal and a bit easier to read. I also have a version of the Venice Immersive experience map with the length of the experience embedded to make it easier for when you may be in standby mode. Here are links to the Best of Experiences that are publicly available: Museum Alive Immersive With David Attenborough [Apple Vision Pro], Nightmara: Episode 3, The 7th Guest VR, Riven, Astra, 40 Dias Sem O Sol (40 Days Without The Sun), & What If…? - An Immersive Story [Apple Vision Pro]. And here's the links to the VRChat worlds that are featured in the Venice Immersive Worlds Gallery. 17 of the 20 are currently publicly available. Sanctum should be available once the festival starts, and there aren't currently plans or availability dates for replayable versions of Concrete: Pale Sands or SNR Labs: Test Facility as of the publication of this episode. The official Venice Immersive Hub in VRChat will be launching on August 28th with in-world portals to each of these worlds. 1 MormoVerse˸ Under the pillow 2.1 Finishing Touch - Art Studio ＆ Gallery 2.2 VRC Museum 2.3 Phatta 3 Liminal Dreams˸ The Poolrooms 4 Endless Residents Super Ultra Deluxe Edition 5 Magnetize 6.1 Magic AI-Art˸ Dimensions 6.2 Exoplanet Journey 7 SUKU 8.1 Chromatic Frequency 8.2 Sanctum 8.3 Overview Effect Experience 9.1 Smew Brushǃ 9.2 ․⁄ complication 9.

On this final episode of Everything is Connected: African Artists & Curators in the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale, I'm joined by Sir John Akomfrah RA. Akomfrah is a Ghanaian-born British artist, writer, film director, screenwriter, theorist and curator.  A pioneering filmmaker, Akomfrah creates multichannel video installations that critically examine the legacy of colonialism, the Black diaspora, and environmental degradation. Akomfrah weaves together original footage with archival material to create stirring, layered narratives that juxtapose personal and historical memory, past and present, and environmental and human crises. This year, Akomfrah was commissioned by the British Council to represent Great Britain with his multi-layered film piece, 'Listening All Night to the Rain.' This exclusive season of Everything is Connected: African Artists & Curators in the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale is sponsored by The Africa Institute, Global Studies University. Light Work is a creative media platform rooted at the intersection of art, education, and culture highlighting the work of emerging, mid-car.eer, and established artists from diverse communities and the art professionals who seek to amplify their achievements and contributions to society

On this episode I'm joined by Sandra Poulson. Sandra Poulson is an Angolan artist based in London and Luanda. Poulson draws from personal experiences and observations growing up in Luanda, Angola, a former Portuguese colony. Her work investigates the political, cultural, and socio-economic landscape of Angola analyzing the relationship between history, oral tradition, and global political structures. I first discovered Poulson's work earlier this year on a trip to Sharjah when I visited the Sharjah Art Foundation and The Africa Institute. At the time, Poulson's work, as part of the Sharjah Architecture Triennale, was still on view. This exclusive season of Everything is Connected: African Artists & Curators in the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale is sponsored by The Africa Institute, Global Studies University. Light Work is a creative media platform rooted at the intersection of art, education, and culture highlighting the work of emerging, mid-career, and established artists from diverse communities and the art professionals who seek to amplify their achievements and contributions to society.

In Deep Time: A Literary History (Princeton UP, 2023), Noah Heringman, Curators' Professor of English at the University of Missouri, presents a “counter-history” of deep time. This counter-history acknowledges and investigates the literary and imaginary origins of the idea of deep time, from eighteen-century narratives of voyages around the world to William Blake's ballads and writings by Charles Darwin. This approach to the idea of deep time and the history of its formation engages with contemporary debates over the concept of an “Anthropocene” and the more general problem of sequencing and understanding the Earth's time.  The book's main contribution is to show that the idea of deep time is not exclusively a scientific and geologic concept. In order to be properly understood and responsibly used, this idea needs to be approached as “a field of imagination,” which has been shaped by the entangled histories of exploration, colonialism, natural sciences, archeology, and literary forms. Deep Time is both a surprising exploration of the forms that “the fantasy of a legible earth history” took between the eighteen and the nineteenth centuries and an invitation to reflect on how these forms might have left their marks on our current attempts at framing the depth and strangeness of the Earth's time.

Visit us at Network2020.org. The International Olympics Committee (IOC) has consistently positioned itself as against the politicization of sport. In The Olympic Charter, the IOC declares that it has a mission “to oppose any political or commercial abuse of sport and athletes.” However, this has consistently not been the case. Countries like China have used hosting the games to showcase state power. Winning in the Olympics is a way to increase international prestige. Individual athletes have used the games as a platform for protests. There have been diplomatic boycotts of adversarial countries. So, how do international politics play into sporting events like the Olympics? How can sports be a tool for cultural relations? How do the 2024 Olympic games reflect current geopolitical trends? Join us for a conversation with Dr. Sarah Hillyer, Founder & Director of the Center for Sport, Peace & Society at the University of Tennessee, and Dr. Susan Brownell, Curators' Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.Music by Musictown from PixabayMusic by Aleksey Chistilin from Pixabay
