A Finnish Guard at the Front Line with a Submachine Gun, Metsäpirtti, 17 January 1942

In December 1941, the front lines stabilized, and the war became a positional conflict in Metsäpirtti as well. Guard duty and patrolling continued relentlessly day and night in the cold, snowy forest, testing the men constantly. In some sectors, fierce clashes still took place. A single mistake could jeopardize the front line, making constant vigilance essential. •••••••• Pohjalainen vartiomies etulinjassa konepistoolin kanssa, Metsäpirtti 17.1.1942

Joulukuussa 1941 rintamalinjat vakiintuivat, ja sota muuttui asemasodaksi myös Metsäpirtissä. Vartiointi ja partiointi jatkuivat tauotta päivin ja öin kylmässä, lumisessa metsässä, koetellen miehiä jatkuvasti. Joillakin osuuksilla käytiin yhä ankaria yhteenottoja. Yksikin virhe saattoi vaarantaa etulinjan, minkä vuoksi valppaus oli herkeämätöntä. •••••••• [ sa-kuva | 70262 | M.Persson ]

Colorizing Photos from the Past: The Ethics of Making History

An artist's efforts to colorize and alter images of people incarcerated, tortured, and murdered by the Khmer Rouge perpetuated a colonial act of violence against Cambodian people.

On April 22, visual historian Jordan Lloyd released a “Colorizer’s Code of Conduct”in response to the scandal. The code seeks to provide an ethical framework for professional colorizers. Colorization, Lloyd explained, has been a “craft” since the 19th century. Now artificial intelligence has changed the industry, for better or for worse. In a personal conversation, Lloyd emphasized that practitioners must use digital technology prudently, approach colorization as a “genuine line of historical inquiry,” and distinguish between work of “sentimental” versus “commercial” value. Loughrey’s unethical conduct, Lloyd argued, was the result of promoting his business, while claiming to serve Cambodian families. He “cheated” by automating his workflow in order to post online content at high frequency. The algorithms of social media aggregators reward this behavior, said Lloyd, and it produced the “stripping away of context.”
