this blog could use some love

Well, it's been ages, but, such is life!  I saw this video recently - Google Goggles Demo Up Close . It looks interesting. A possible app for enabling image analysis, ID and web-linking from mobile-phone camera shots of artworks, places, people, and books.

On the one hand, there is some discussion, especially in the museum information science field, that this might overcome the problem of copyright/owner search for visual images. Specifically, in the case of orphan works. It is interesting, but it is not the first visual search engine. Besides, does google really need to own the entire world?

Artists' Books

Here is an absolutely fabulous video about the bookmaking process from start to finish. The Complex of All of These: 3000 photographs (ish), 35 books, 2 months at the Women's Studio Workshop in Rosendale, NY.

What an amazing opportunity!

I <3 Cataloguing!
