NEW 🐣
The editors of the Italian open access journal Engramma invited me to contribute an article for a special issue on copyleft and internet piracy.
So I wrote 'Museums and the Enclosure of the Public Domain in the Digital Age', now online at https://engramma.it/eOS/index.php?id_articolo=5839
Grazie a Giulia Zanon, Filippo Perfetti e Monica Centanni. 🙏

Andrea and me were really happy seeing our ‘Hawking Hogarth’ digital installation at the University of Technology Sydney’s amazing 360° Data Arena.
This specially commissioned work accompanied our presentation and ongoing research into all things Hogarth, copyright, digital collections and the public domain.
Big thanks to the UTS tech team here in Sydney, and to Zoë Sadokierski for the great photos.
