Libraries: the Next Generation Berkman Center for Internet & Society Podcast

In 2013, the Berkman Center helped to launch the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), which brings together the riches of America’s libraries, archives, and museums, and makes them freely available to the world. This online portal delivers incredible resources and artifacts from all over America to the fingertips of students, teachers, scholars, and the public at large. Meanwhile at Harvard and many universities across America, libraries of all kinds are negotiating the opportunities of the digital with enterprise, ingenuity, and experimentation.

In this conversation DPLA Executive Director Dan Cohen, Faculty Director of metaLAB (at) Harvard Jeffrey Schnapp, and librarian and technologist Andromeda Yelton explore how libraries are drawing on their past, and using technology to create new resources for scholarship and education.

"Curated by the Crowd: collections, data, and platforms for participation in museums and other institutions" hosted by metaLAB's Jeffrey Schnapp, Matthew Battles and Pablo Barría Urenda. Curarium is a collection of collections, an “animated archive,” designed to serve as a model for crowdsourcing annotation, curation, and augmentation of works within and beyond their respective collections.

NPR on the "original mix tape" by McLuhan

On March 20th, NPR's All Things Considered featured a discussion of the "original mix tape" created by communications theorist and philosopher Marshall McLuhan, along with creative director Jerome Agel and producer John Simon. Based on McLuhan's famous book of the same name, NPR's Oliver Wang writes, "The Medium Is the Massage, nods to the ways media can soothe or lull consumers into complacency, the album's noisy fractures and flips seem more designed to mirror the uneasy chaos created from constant media distractions. This was, remember, some 40 years before YouTube and Twitter, yet The Medium Is the Massage feels positively prescient in predicting the sound of our contemporary information age. Now, as it was then, the jump into the electronic whirlpool can be exhilarating and disorienting, somehow making those brief moments of silence seem all the louder."

Check out Sensate's "the first spoken arts record you can dance to" —a remix of Agel and Simon's remix by Jeffrey Schnapp and Kara Oehler.

Andy Warhol - Crowd, 1963

Jeffrey Schnapp reads Andy Warhol’s crowd photographs of the 1960s as marking the passing of “a model of politics based on the physical massing of bodies in public places or the performance of symbolic marches in real time and space” and the arrival of a new “politics of gestures that relies on virtual, indirect, and asynchronous forms of presence, organization, and participation.” According to Schnapp, the figure of the crowd has currency today only in a knowingly aestheticized way: as a formation evocative of an older politics that can be quoted in contemporary mobilizations, “just as typewriting now continues to play a role under the regime of digital writing and printing.”

- William Mazzarella quoting from Jeffrey Schnapp's essay "Mob Porn"
