TY - JOUR TI - Ten out of ten: a review of the last decade AU -Ken Arnold AU -Andrea Bandelli AU -Rachel Ellis AU -Jane Henderson AU -Michelle Henning AU -Rebecca Mellor AU -Theano Moussouri AU -Michal Nanoru AU -Hannah Redler-Hawes AU -Tim Snelson PY - 2024 VL - IS - Autumn 2024 AB - N1 - AB: Beyond the Lab: The DIY Science Revolution was part of the European project SPARKS. The project was coordinated by Ecsite, the European Network of Science Centres and Museums, and funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Commission. More information about the project, including toolkits and manuals is available at: https://www.ecsite.eu/activities-and-services/projects/sparks. N1 - RE: ‘Skeuomorphism’ is a term which has been used widely in digital design to describe when objects in the digital world mimic their real-world counterparts. N1 - RE: Launchball (2007) is a virtual game made for both the Science Museum’s Launch Pad gallery and for the Museum’s website. The game won numerous awards, including Best in Show at SXSW 2008. Its online viral impact was unprecedented at the time with over ten million games played in its first few months of existence.

The umbrella term ‘queer’ will be used interchangeably with LGBTQIA+ and its definition comes from the V&A’s LGBTQ Glossary. N1 - RM: Queer Britain N1 - RM: In 1974, London Gay Switchboard (today simply known as ‘Switchboard’) received its first call. Homosexuality was partially decriminalised in 1967 but the stigma remained and the severe lack of information across Britain institutionally and socially meant there was a need for a space that offered support and information on key issues impacting individuals identifying as LGBTQIA+. N1 - RM: Some examples include Queer British Art 1861–1967, Tate Britain (2017), Beyond the Binary, Pitt Rivers (2022), ‘Wales is...Proud’ collecting project, St Fagans National Museum of History (ongoing), Queer Constellations: The Histories of Rural Gay Men Digital Exhibition, The Museum of English Rural Life (ongoing), The Museum of Transology, Bishopsgate Institute. N1 - RM: Armstrong, Eleanor S, and Simon J Lock, 2023, ‘Queering Science Museums, Science Centres, and Other Public Science Institutions’, in Queering Science Communication (Bristol, UK: Bristol University Press) N1 - MN: Václav Jirásek N1 - MN: Eastern Front N1 - MN: See the Miroslav Holub poetry collection on the Science Museum Group section of the British Library’s shared research repository.

N1 - HRH: See University of Sheffield FRAIM project, funded as part of the BRAID programme under UK Research and Innovation, Arts and Humanities Research Council award number AH/Z505596/1. As part of the project artists Blast Theory have created a new work ‘Constant Washing Machine’, which invites people who work with AI to connect the good habits of everyday washing to ‘Responsible AI’ practice. N1 - HRH: See University of the Arts London Decolonising Arts Institute: Transforming Collections project. N1 - HRH: Anna Ridler’s ‘Myrid (Tulips)’, 2018, and ‘Mosaic Virus’ series 2018 and 2019 situate the dataset as an artwork, drawing attention to the skill, labour and time that goes into constructing it, whilst also helping to expose the human element in machine learning. N1 - HRH: For Clare Strand’s ‘A Butterfly and a Horse’ project the artist trained an AI on her entire photographic outlet to create an homage to Sheldon Bidwell, an early pioneer of the electronically transmitted image. The resultant ‘Clare Strand dataset’ returned images of a butterfly and a horse built entirely from her own visual language. N1 - HRH: Holly Herndon and Matt Dryhurst argue ‘If all media is training data, including art, let’s turn the production of training data into art instead’. Inspired by the UKs choral tradition, their piece ‘The Call’ (2024) resulted in a new songbook of musical exercises and hymns specially developed to make training data for choral AI models, activating the role of individuals in creating intentional training data. N1 - HRH: A M Darke ‘fairlyintelligent.tech’ (2021) N1 - HRH: Rachel McLean’s video installation ‘Duck’ (2024) features every James Bond throughout the franchise’s history, and other stars, all played by the artist employing deepfake technology as a new medium, which raises questions about a range of IP from likeness, body data and trademarks to ownership of born digital AI products. N1 - HRH: See Alistair Gentry ‘DoxBox trustbot’ (2019–2023) N1 - HRH: Crowe, J, Hardinges, J, Massey, J, Moriniere, S, N1 - HRH: Alan Warburton, The Wizard of AI, 2023. Further discussion at: https://theodi.org/news-and-events/news/wizard-of-ai/ N1 - HRH: The author commissioned ‘Machination’ for the Science Museum Wellcome Wing in 1999. There is no online documentation of the work, but it was developed by the artists from a software engine they started developing in 1994, which also underwrote earlier work ‘Tumble’ (1998), part of the 1998 Star Dot Star exhibition curated by Helen Sloan for Site Gallery in Sheffield. N1 - HRH: See the Harvard Museums AI Explorer N1 - HRH: See The Living Museum by Jonathan Talmi working independently and using a large language model that draws on the British Museum’s publicly accessible metadata and other sources. It has resulted in much debate. See also Linda Spurdle’s comment on LinkedIn.
