Kraftwerk gave tribute to Ryuichi at this year’s Fujirock Festival ’24. Ralf Hütter introduced the group’s rendition of Sakamoto’s classic, “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence,” in front of a photo of Ralf and Ryuichi together in 1981, stating, “We are friends forever.”

I had been dreaming with the possibility of attending the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School since I first heard about it a few years ago. This morning, I entered the building where the event is taking place with a mixture of trepidation and awe. #DHOxSS2024 #DHOxSS

The day started with an opening keynote by Andrea Wallace: Mainstreaming Open GLAM, Emerging issues, opportunities & unknowns in the growing movement around open access to digitised cultural heritage collections. #DHOxSS2024 #DHOxSS

To sum up: 1. The idea of copyright, based on a socio-historical-rooted proprietary logic, acquired through colonial expansion a status of atemporality and universality that it’s difficult to justify: replace it with a more open idea/practice where possible. #DHOxSS2024 #DHOxSS

2. A global minority of GLAM institutions are producing digital open content for a global majority (and in a colonial language): less than 1% of cultural institutions globally, 88% of which in USA, EU and UK #DHOxSS2024 #DHOxSS

3. So what now?: GLAMs and open GLAM should help shape openness, using technology to close ethical gaps left by law, identifying bias, focusing in transparency. #DHOxSS2024 #DHOxSS

Here at #DHOxSS2024 #DHOxSS there are different strands to follow: AI and Creative Technology (online), Digital Scholarship in the Library (online), From Text to Tech, An Introduction to TEI, Humanities Data and ...

... Applied Data Analysis, the strand that I am following myself. Today we looked at Pandas during the day. Here’s a picture of pandas staring back at us. #DHOxSS2024 #DHOxSS

In the evening , we went in different groups for a tour around the city. The tour guide was not only a gentleman and a scholar, he was also a great orator and a wonderful entertainer. I could have spent hours listening to all things Oxford from him. #DHOxSS2024 #DHOxSS

At the Schools Quadrangle #DHOxSS2024 #DHOxSS
