#Heather Delacroix

[aisakalegacy]

Printemps 1918, Al Simhara, Égypte (8/20)

L’organisation de la cérémonie me donna l'occasion de recontacter de vieux amis, que je souhaitais inviter. C’est ainsi que j’obtins des nouvelles de Heather, la veuve de feu le Capitaine Delacroix, qui est aussi l’infirmière à qui je dois ma vie sauve. Elle est rentrée chez elle à Vancouver où elle a ouvert un institut destiné aux orphelins de guerre. Elle me fit part de ses regrets de ne pas pouvoir assister à la cérémonie à si bref préavis, mais nous envoya une élégante couronne de fleurs en tissus en guise de cadeau de mariage.

[Transcription] Earnest Simmon : Ce mariage est une chance pour nos deux familles. En associant nos fortunes, toi et moi, nous allons pouvoir bâtir un empire. Louise Le Bris : Je n’y compterais pas trop si j’étais toi, et je continuerais d’investir sur mon bien propre. Earnest Simmon : Qu’est-ce que tu entends par là ? Louise Le Bris : C’est Lucien qui va hériter, pas moi, et très honnêtement, c’est mieux comme ça. Je n’ai pas envie d’hériter des dettes. Earnest Simmon : Des dettes ? Louise Le Bris : Les Le Bris n’ont plus d’argent. Mon père ne travaille pas, il gaspille toute la fortune amassée par Grand-Père dans ses voyages. Louise Le Bris : *s’étire* Nous gagnons bien quelques dividendes par les élevages Le Bris, qui sont administrés par notre grand-oncle, et il y a sa pension d’invalidité, mais cela n’est pas suffisant pour couvrir toutes ses dépenses. C’est pour cela que ni Marie, ni Agathon ne sont pas en pension. Earnest Simmon : Je ne le savais pas. Louise Le Bris : De toute manière, avec la fortune de ta famille, on sera largement à l’abri du besoin.

A List of All of the Characters that I Use In My Fics/Drawings

Okay, as a precursor to this list, this includes canon characters who’s names/ages I’ve altered, though it should be fairly obvious who’s who. OCs will be bolded, canon character will be italicised, and characters who I’m not even sure are canon are not have both. Numbers in (these) are how old they are in D1, in [these] are in D2, and in {these} are old they are in D3. Also I’m going to be suffering as I make individual tags for all of these kids.

Ficwritersweek Day 4

Day 4: The Devil’s In The Details - Highlight small details you loved in the fics you’ve read or written.

Writers: Highlight details you put into your work - Foreshadowing? External reference? Show off some subtle details you’ve included in your fics that readers might have missed! 

You want external references? Wraiths is FULL of external references, as well as references to various historical facts, and some other particular things I’ve comes across that I loved and thought would suit.It’s almost at a stage where if I read anything at all, some reference to it appears in Wraiths, so I’ll just pick a few from some chapters.

Under the cut for those who wish to avoid spoilers!

Chapter 1

The fog is a reference to the BBC miniseries Parade’s End, where some of the later trench scenes have thick fog.

The name Thibault is also a reference to the writer of one of the articles I read for my thesis.

Chapter 4

The idea of a ghost leading Antoine (and Konstin) back across No Man’s Land to safety came from Palace of the Damned by Darren Shan, the third book of The Saga of Larten Crepsley, when Larten leads a party of soldiers back to their own trench, some of them badly wounded. 

Chapter 5

The flashback to Konstin holding Erik’s watch refers back to a scene in the third chapter of Etched with Tears.

Chapter 6

Amélie’s sweetheart being stationed near Rouen (and on permanent base duty thanks to his lungs) is another Parade’s End reference

Chapter 7

Monsieur Rouché was the actual historical Director of the Paris Opera during the war. Remarque refers to Erich Marie Remarque who wrote All Quiet On the Western Front, Delacroix is a reference to Tender is a Kiss/Composer AU, and Ledoux refers to Ledoux/The Persian from the 1925 PotO film. There is also one small reference to Christmas 1914.

Chapter 9

Christine’s memory of waiting on the bank of the lake with no sign of Erik and worrying about him refers to a scene in Kay.

Chapter 10

The orderly named Anatole is a reference to Anatole from Great Comet.

The Saint Anthony is a reference to A Farewell to Arms, plus because Antoine and Anthony are related names I thought it appropriate that it should be that saint watching over Konstin!

And Carrière is a reference to Gerard Carrière from the Charles Dance PotO miniseries, while Lefevre refers to the ALW musical. Mabeuf is a reference to the old man in the Les Mis novel who Marius befriended and who later died on the barricade.

Chapter 11

Konstin getting grey hair is a very slight reference to Jewels!

Chapter 12

Antoine talking about ghosts coalescing out of the mist is a reference to a story which Vera Brittain relates in Testament of Youth, about a wounded soldier who said he saved by someone they had buried a few days earlier.

Chapter 14

The flashback to riding along the river was inspired by the Heather Dale song ‘Lady of the Lake’.

Carrière trying to massage a soldier’s heart back into beating was inspired by a scene in (I think) S1 E3 of The Knick

Chapter 19

Three days of lying on this hillside have left me very stiff. -- a reference to the supposed last words of Lieutenant Roland Leighton, which were “Lying on this hillside for six days makes me very stiff.” He died at approximately 11pm on 23 December 1915.

“Kiss me, Hardy” and the dying Capitaine that Marguerite tends to are both references to Admiral Lord Nelson, who died from the same wound as the Capitaine at the Battle of Trafalgar, only his was inflicted by a musket and not a sniper.

Chapter 21

Lieutenant Henri and the wound in his stomach were inspired by Henry DeTamble from The Time Traveler’s Wife.

Chapter 22

The soldier whose back was peppered with shrapnel was based on Captain Hubert de Stacpoole, who was similarly wounded in 1915.

And there are more references in upcoming chapters!

The capital of Corse-du-Sud has a knack for packing all the things that people admire about Corsica.

You’ve got history because Napoleon Bonaparte was born and baptized in the city, and his family donated lots of exciting memorabilia to the museums. There's a cinematic nature setting at Pointe de la Parata a few minutes from the city, or the mountains in the background are covered with wild herbs, heather, and shrubs. And then you come to the beaches, which are plentiful, white and bathed by pale blue seas with mind-blowing clarity. Discover the best things to do in Ajaccio.

[toc]

1. Pointe de la Parata

On an island where spectacular natural spectacles are almost common, Pointe de la Parata will still make you speechless. This is a black granite tomb announcing the northern limit of Ajaccio Bay, near the end of a series of stubborn rock peaks that continue offshore to create the Sanguinaires Islands.

The headland is capped with a Genoese watchtower, 55 meters above the water and built as part of a network to defend the coast against Barbary pirate attacks in the 16th century. Drive down to the restaurant, and from there you can follow the walking path for a closer view of the tower or take a dip in the clear waters.

2. Route des Sanguinaires

Pulling off the southern coast of Ajaccio is a coastal route that leads to Pointe de Parata. It combines with Corn Corn Ajaccienne, a winding road, winding around the rugged contours of the rugged coastline.

It has all the scenery, off the Sanguinaires Islands and on the best beaches in Ajaccio, like Plage de Marinella. On the way is the Saint-Antoine Cemetery, where the Corse singer Tino Rossi has been laid to rest.

Now, you can make a similar journey through the Sentier des Crêtes (walk of the peaks), just by your own two feet. You'll runs along the ridge above coastal development in a world of pines, prickly pears and flowers, for beautiful views of the sea.

3. Musée Fesch

Ajaccio Museum of Fine Arts is named after Uncle Napoleon, Joseph Fesch, who is archbishop of Lyon.

In the early-1800s he founded this museum by donating his extravagant painting collection, and it constitutes one of the largest sets of Italian baroque and renaissance paintings anywhere in France.

Cosmè Tura, Giovanni Bellini, Michelangelo, Veronese, Titian, and Salvatore Rosa are just some of the most famous artists introduced.

The Fesch Museum is also a place where you can start tracking the history of the Bonaparte family, as there are about 700 works dedicated to the First and Second Empire, and the bust of the Bonaparte family.

4. Maison Bonaparte

Napoleon’s birthplace is one of those attractions that is more about the significance of the place rather than what is there.

Really, all you need to know is that you are inspecting the house where an epocharian was born on August 15, 1769. The house was decorated with Bonaparte family furniture, even if You have to use your imagination to figure out what it would be like in the 18th century.

The first Bonaparte to live at this understated four-story house was Napoleon’s great-great-grandfather in the late-17th century and the building remained in the family’s hands until 1923. Napoleon only spent his first years here, so there's a lot to learn about the rest of the royal family and their relationship with Ajaccio.

5. Salons Napoléoniens

Clusters of art and memorabilia were so large that they swept into the city of Fesch. But the most fascinating pieces are in the town hall, where you can continue your small journey through the history of Ajaccioùi Bonaparte by looking at the register of Napoleonic baptism.

On the damask walls, there is a full portrait of Napoleon, the painting of Napoleon III and Queen Eugénie, as well as his brother Joseph Napoleon when he was declared King of Spain during the Peninsular War.

6. Plage de Capo di Feno

There are more than 20 beaches in or near Ajaccio, mostly lively corners with smooth, transparent water and white sand. You may feel the urge to break from the crowd and if so you can drive the 10 kilometers to the coast just north of Pointe de la Parata.

Plage de Capo di Feno has a more barbaric beauty, with bushes and forests, and an offshore sand beach that causes a break for surfers. It's not just for regular swimmers, but you can paddle in the bathing area and sunbathe on the light sand.

Bring friends and a blanket, and stay in the evening because the sunsets are unbeatable on this west-facing beach.

7. Place Foch

Next to the town hall is an elongated square ringed by impressive old palm trees. There is a familiar face to meet you: Growing up on a pedestal along the plaza to the port is a marble Napoleon statue in the guise of a Roman consul, sculpted by Massimiliano Laboureur of Italy.

If you want to zip around Ajaccio’s sights in comfort you can catch the Petit Train at Place Foch.

But maybe the best reason to stop is for the Marchés des Producteurs de Pays on Saturday mornings, when the sheep’s cheese, cured meats, olives and wine made and grown in the countryside near Corsica are laid out irresistibly on stalls on the square.

8. Ajaccio Cathedral

Back on the trail of Napoleon, Ajaccio cathedral is the church where the emperor was baptized on 21 July 1771. Not only that, but his mother Letizia started going into labor with him while attending the Mass of the Assumption on 15 August 1769. The marble font in which he was baptized is just inside the entrance.

In addition to its relationship with Napoleon, the Church is handsome if the building is a strict 16th-century building with brown walls illuminated by sunlight.

Pause for a moment in the Chapel of the Madonna of Pianto, adorned with murals by Domenico Tintoretto (son of Jacopo) and Eugène Delacroix.

9. Tête de Mort

Get up early one summer morning and beat the heat for a walk on Ajaccio, with breathtaking coastal views. The zigzag trail rises from Bois des Anglais through mastic shrubs, cacti and wild olives of legendary Corsican vampires.

After a time you’ll arrive at a sinister-looking granite boulder, named the Tête de Mort (Head of Death), which according to local legend is the petrified head of Lucifer himself! The path then detours to see the sea at Parc Berthault, a few steps from du Trottel Beach, a 90-minute walk.

10. A Cupulatta

Turtles and tortoises from five continents live in this sanctuary and research center 20 kilometers northeast of Ajaccio.

There are a total of 3,000 animals, from 170 species, Corsican climates and carefully configured tanks and tanks at the two-hectare park that allows them to thrive. The turtle hatchery and nursery are sure to make you smile; if you come on the right day you can see a baby turtle breaking out of its egg.

Passing from Galápagos tortoises to diminutive European pond terrapins it’s food for thought to see how these animals have evolved in different parts of the world.

Inside the Mets construction of a museum without walls

On October 4, the Met’s photographers and editors digitized Luca della Robbi’s ‘Madonna and Child with Scroll.’

The baby Jesus in Italian sculptor Luca della Robbia’s “Madonna and Child with Scroll” is surprisingly…sassy. Wrapped in his placid mother’s arms, he even seems to be serving a “girl, please” side-eye. His whole figure is full of personality and detail; his baby hands and ears, though porcelain, look chubby enough to bite. Up close — very up close — he even has baby teeth.

On October 4, Joe Coscia, Jr., the Metropolitan Museum of Art‘s quiet but devoted chief photographer, undertook the task of capturing the Madonna, and her child with their scroll, digitally. 

“How often do you get to photograph a della Robbia?” Coscia said while he worked. “Maybe once in a lifetime — twice if you’re lucky.”

This is what Coscia and the imaging team do day in and day out: carefully stage, light, photograph, edit, and render the digital files of the Met’s 1.5 million artifacts, and send them off to curators, publishers, and, frequently, the digital department, for publishing online.

Since the creation of the digital division in 2009, the Met — like most cultural institutions — has been proactively wrestling with the question of what it means to be a museum in the digital age. How should the reach of a museum extend beyond its walls? 

Some museums choose to guard and curate their collections online just as they would in their buildings. Others fling open their digital doors, and let go of control over their collections in the name of reaching more people, and enabling further study and creation.

“Now that many people can access representations of museums and objects online, it’s forced museums to really think about what aspect of artwork they think is really special,” Dr. Miriam Posner, an assistant professor of Information Studies at UCLA, said. “Every museum has to decide what its priorities are.”

Zoomed in to the 100 million megapixel photo file, you can see that the “child” has teeth.

For the most part, the Met has staked its flag on the side of open access; in 2017, it released 375,000 images of its public domain art objects on its website under Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license. That means any person can download, use, and change these images however they see fit.

On Thursday, it went further. The Met has now released a public API connecting to over 200,000 open access pieces in its collection. 

An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a tool that allow computers to read and analyze a changing set of information. With the Met’s API, researchers, students, social media platforms, or anyone who can run code that interfaces with a digital database, will have access to information about — as the Met’s head of digital, Loic Tallon, is fond of saying— “5,000 years of human history.” 

“In many ways we’ve been working towards this for a while, building on the launch of Open Access,” the Met’s director, Max Hollein, told Mashable. “We hope people will be creative and hands-on with our collection, emboldened to engage with it in new ways, and—through the data that is now available for every object, painting, sculpture in the public domain—we hope there will be a deep exploration of and fresh appreciation for the historical context, beauty, and resources that exist within this unparalleled collection.”

“We hope people will be creative and hands-on with our collection, emboldened to engage with it in new ways.”

The museum is launching the API in partnership with Google, which is using the API to pull these objects into the Google Arts & Culture app and web archive. 

“Every month and every week with technologies advancing, I’m more convinced that technology can make art make a bigger impact in people’s lives,” Simon Delacroix, program manager for Google Arts & Culture in North America, said.

Although the Met’s collection has had an online presence for the last six years, Tallon and his department hope that the API will help the Met’s archive reach a farther and more diverse audience, whether through exposure on Google, Wikipedia, or even through social media platforms. They envision that it will enable the creation of creative research projects about the collection. Somewhat symbiotically, it could even serve as a resource that programmers can use to train A.I. in the development of image recognition programs.

“The museum is really trying to figure out what it means to open its doors in the digital age to make sure it can reach audiences around the world, to make sure it’s putting as few barriers as possible between people around the world and the objects that can inspire them,” Tallon said. “That really is the global aim here.”

Many cultural institutions are establishing their digital presences, whether through all-access APIs or highly curated digital exhibitions, and everything in between. A museum of the Met’s stature devoting its resources to digitization could provide a path forward for other institutions as they walk the tightrope between access and curation. And, together, define what it means to be a museum, online.

Above the Great Hall

Joe Coscia works in a matte black studio in the imaging department, a space directly above the Great Hall that has housed the department since its founding in 1906. Walking through requires navigating around 10-foot high white halves of spheres —  the backside of the museum’s famed domed ceiling. Photographers used to shoot using the natural light from the skylights of the domes, and develop the film on the rooftops of the Met above Fifth Avenue. 

Today, this is where imaging, working hand in hand with digital, help digitize the collection.

The process begins with curators who often request photographs of the objects. Every piece of physical art comes with its own metadata — the artist, the date, or any other descriptors. These are initially written by curators and put into the museum’s content management system, created and managed by Tallon’s digital team.

Then specialized art movers in the Met’s riggers department bring the piece into the studio, if it’s able to be moved. A photographer is assigned, based on their expertise (Joe Coscia loves shooting ceramics and bronze, and does a lot of porcelain). 

Photographers then stage the piece, making sure that the object stands out without getting lost in the shadows. Each surface, whether paint or bronze or marble, has its unique staging and lighting needs. Photographers then capture all the details requested by the curators, as well as whatever they notice on their own.

“Everything’s a challenge, because every single shot is different,” Coscia said.

Coscia works in his dark studio using a Hasselblad camera, shooting in 100 million megapixels that converts raw files into a 600 MB .TIF file. Coscia says the department has always had top of the line cameras, lights, and software, because “this collection absolutely needs the best equipment. The better the equipment, we can make more beautiful pictures of this incredible collection.” Only when zoomed in hundreds of percents on screen do people notice the baby Jesus’ teeth in the della Robbia.

“When you blow it up huge, sometimes you can see fingerprints, you can see all sorts of great things that the artists might have left,” Coscia said. “The curators love it.”

Once a photographer has secured the perfect shot, they send it to advanced post-production to get it ready for distribution. 

Heather Johnson is an imaging production assistant. She originally applied to be a museum security guard, but now she has a much different role: editing photographs of objects to make sure, as she says, that objects look in print or on screen just as they do in real life. In service to that mission, shadows are Heather’s nemesis.

“I think the thing that people would be surprised by is how hard it is to make something look like you would see it in real life,” Johnson said. “The first thing I learned here was how to make a shadow look real. Mostly because we’re so used to seeing shadows, that even if you have no sort of technical skills, you can look at an object and be like, something’s off there.”

Heather cleans up the enormous photo files pixel by pixel, which can be both meditative, or a pain. She also makes edits that photographers can’t in real life. The della Robbia came on what Coscia called an “unfortunate” wood pedestal that can’t be removed physically. But Heather can remove it digitally, so the creamy porcelain of Madonna and Child shines against the dramatic gray background, sans ugly wood.

Once employees like Heather and Joe finish their work, the head of imaging, Barbara Bridgers, hands the baton over to Loic Tallon’s digital team. Under Tallon, the division has 60 employees working on the website and building new digital tools and content. The team running point for the Met’s API is the collections squad, helmed by lead developer Spencer Kaiser. 

“We’re responsible for the collection online, the full stack all the way from the databases that the curators use to catalogue the objects,” Kaiser said. “What you see on the website is what we’ve produced.”

With work on building the API coming to a close, Kaiser’s team is now deep in a multitude of projects, including making the website “sexier,” and building an art timeline, to show what was happening in history during the production of various artworks. His team names their sprints based on constellations; at the time we spoke, they were currently finishing up Tucana.

“This collection absolutely needs the best equipment. The better the equipment, we can make more beautiful pictures of this incredible collection.”

With the API and the ongoing digitization process, Kaiser’s team receives digital files from the imaging team, as well as the metadata from curators. A big challenge for his team (and for digitization as a whole) has been making the format of the metadata consistent, since it comprises pieces that have been catalogued continuously over a century and a half. 

“Having talked to a lot of museum people about their data projects, we’re all super aware of how hard it is to get presentable data from this, and how much effort it takes to make this happen,” UCLA’s Dr. Posner said. 

Organizing databases and programming the API, Kaiser acknowledges that a lot of the technical work is not so different from what any developer making a content management system and API does. The difference is that his team does it at The Met — incidentally, in the same fifth floor space of the museum’s old slide library, where sepia-toned slides of greek statues or European oil paintings are still scattered around the office.

“This type of work, building APIs, can be a similar experience no matter where you are,” Kaiser said. “The real difference is that we get to work with such incredible artworks. The responsibility of getting that out into the world is what really makes a difference for us.”

The old slide library

Loic Tallon works from a standing desk in his office and when he speaks about his work, his words stream out while he simultaneously retrieves supporting documents, or looks up another burgeoning thought online. He recites the full mission statement of The Met at the drop of a hat, so quickly that it seems a talisman rather than a mere collection of words, because he says he is always thinking about the statement and how to best serve it. 

Tallon also works closely with institutions outside of the Met to make the collection easy to access wherever people already are online. The department has a “Wikipedian-in-residence,” who helps integrate the collection into Wikipedia articles. It also works closely with Google’s Arts & Culture platform, which serves as a digital portal to museum collections all over the world. And connecting with these platforms, in the case of the API, is really the next step in the process of digitization.

“It might not be sexy, but from a technical point of view, it’s a big step forward.”

“The Met is more than just a physical space—we share our content with the millions of people who follow us on social media and use our website, and digital platforms give us the ability to reach out even beyond these audiences,” museum director Max Hollein said. “This circles right back to the heart of the Museum’s mission—to connect people with art.”

Google’s own goal of organizing the world’s information works curiously well in tandem with the Met’s mission. That synchronicity is part of what’s made the Met partnership and the API a priority for Google Arts & Culture. “It ties back to the general mission statement of Google,” Delacroix said. “And that’s exactly what we’re doing, and doing it at a new scale, with the help of an API.”

Prior to the API launch, Google engineers manually uploaded the Met’s work onto its platform. But Delacroix says that that process is slow and painstaking. The API will enable the Google platform to ingest a huge amount of dynamic data at once. And while there were previously 2,000 Met works on Google Arts & Culture, the API swells that number to over 200,000.

“An API allows you to do that at scale in a painless way, because you have these two interfaces communicating, and doing the job for themselves,” Delacroix said. “It might not be sexy, but from a technical point of view, it’s a big step forward.”

“With the API coming out, we’re really assertively going down that route of trying to connect everyone in the world to the Met’s collection,” Tallon said. “Reducing the distance between people and the object that’s relevant to them — that’s the global goal.”

Museums log on

Disseminating art across the globe is not a mission the Met is undertaking alone — far from it. Many institutions, particularly internationally, have gone even further in efforts to digitize much larger collections. 

“It has been happening for some time, digitization,” Thomas Padilla, a digital research services librarian at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, who studies how institutions can improve access for computational research, said. 

An API like the Met’s comes about when the museum decides that it wants to easily enable access and remix culture, or, the ability to create something new from something old. The Met is not the first to achieve this; The American Library of Congress and the European Union’s digital platform for cultural heritage, Europeana, are some of the institutions with an API. The Netherlands’ Rijksmuseum has been a notable leader in mass digitization, and has offered an API since 2011. 

“It’s a more recent development to enable access through APIs or bulk downloading,” Padilla said. “That’s a new chapter that extends and expands the various types of things that people can do with the product of all that digitization effort.”

An API is not the panacea of digitization for all institutions.

But an API is not the panacea of digitization for all institutions. The way that museums have gone about this challenge varies widely. Their approaches depend on the scope of the collection, the financial and personnel resources available, and the institution’s curatorial stance.

“I would never make a blanket statement like everybody has to digitize,” UCLA’s Dr. Posner said. “For some museums, it’s hard enough to keep the lights on.”

The Hammer Museum in Los Angeles has a specialized collection of European, American, and contemporary art. Its project manager for digital initiatives is Philip Leers, who says that the museum approaches digitization in a similar way that it would approach creating a dynamic, context-filled exhibition, rather than digitizing its whole collection en-masse.

“We create digital resources that highlight parts of our collection that we think are important, or hidden, or that we have something interesting to say about,” Leers said. “It presents us with the opportunity to present the works with fairly rigorous context. We think of this as educational resources, and want to provide more than just images.”

The Hammer creates online versions of its popular and notable exhibitions as well. Leers explained that its 2011-2012 exhibition spotlighting 20th century African-American artists in Los Angeles, Now Dig This!: Art and Black Los Angeles 1960–1980, was so popular that it preserved it and has expanded its digital archive in the years since. Popularity wasn’t the only factor that went into the online hub’s creation; the Hammer felt that it was important to elevate the visibility of art and a community that had been brushed over for too long.

The Smithsonian has a different challenge and approach altogether. Compared with the Met’s 1.5 million object collection, the Smithsonian has 155 million objects. Digitization has provided the Smithsonian with the ability to actually make that gargantuan archive accessible, so it has made it a priority. 

“I think it’s a great opportunity, an amazing opportunity,” Diane Zorich, director of Smithsonian’s digitization program office, said. “We have 155 million objects. Less than 1 percent can be exhibited at any time. This gives us an opportunity to make our collections so much more available to people in so many different ways.”

Still, Zorich said that the opportunity is also an obstacle in its own right. “We have a scale challenge that other museums don’t have,” she said. That’s where mass digitization comes in.

For art, design, and scientific sample collections, the Smithsonian has set up systems that involve a huge amount of preparation, but allow for the museum to capture images and create a digital archive much more quickly. It was able to digitize the Smithsonian’s design collection, housed at New York’s Cooper Hewitt, by categorizing objects by size and shape (or, “envelopes”), and using the same production staging for all the items in a given envelope. It even digitized its huge collection of botany samples using an actual conveyer belt.

The Smithsonian and Hammer museums’ approaches to digitization sit on opposite ends of a spectrum, both suited to each institution’s collection and perspective. The Hammer puts out a smaller amount of digital material, but presents it with the same curatorial context that it would in a physical exhibition. The Smithsonian’s mass digitization gives unprecedented access to its collection, but provides the information more as data, and less as “content.”

“Museums are used to doing things slowly and carefully, while the internet is fast-paced and messy, or it can be,” the Hammer’s Leers said. “Some museums are very free and open with their digital presence, and some are more painstaking. I think we’ve kind of erred towards that end of the spectrum.”

“The context versus access debate is a long standing debate that will probably go by the wayside as we move forward,” the Smithsonian’s Zorich said. “It will have to if museums want to stay relevant to their audiences.”

It’s difficult to achieve the best of both worlds, but that’s what the Met is trying to do. Employees like Joe Coscia, Heather Johnson, and Spencer Kaiser ensure that each photograph is beautiful, accurate, and customized; that the metadata is clean, and consistent with the wishes of a curator. 

“The quality of the images should match and equal the quality of the art.”

Of course, they are only able to take this kind of slow care in their work because they have the financial resources and institutional support to do so. The Open Access Initiative is specifically funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies.

“Institutions need money in order to do this stuff, and in order to sustain it, and especially in order to staff the initiatives,” Padilla said. “There is a fair amount of disparity in terms of having the financial resources to staff up and sustain effort in this space.”

Even though the Met went through financial trouble in 2017, which resulted in a new CEO/President, and a new director, digital remained. While Tallon’s digital team employs more than 60 people, digital initiatives have continued to become even more deeply ingrained within multiple departments.

In balancing context and access, some of the Met’s objects online come with more curatorial and educational resources than others. The Met is not shooting for “mass digitization,” but it is going for a holistic digital presence that is reflective of the institution itself. 

“More than ever, we’re responsible for making sure that we’re sending the contents of this institution outward to the world,” the Met’s head of imaging Barbara Bridgers said. “We’ve just always felt that it was imperative that given the breadth and the depth of the collections in the Met, that the quality and the bar, the standard bar, that we use to capture works of art, should be at the very highest. The quality of the images should match and equal the quality of the art.”

Buried treasure

This August, the Met reunited all 16 of its famous Van Gogh paintings — irises, wheat fields, self-portraits and all — in one gallery. These paintings are usually on loan at exhibitions around the world. 

But even before they reached the Met, they criss-crossed the world throughout the centuries. Thanks to digitization, that journey has been uncovered and visualized for anyone to learn from while they take in the paintings in the gallery.

“There are a lot of stories to be found in this data that you might not see in any exhibition,” Parsons professor Richard The told Mashable.

An API is all well and good, but what can it actually do? The Met’s undertaking is yielding, especially with the API, new ways to both access and understand the cultural legacy it contains. 

“There are a lot of stories to be found in this data that you might not see in any exhibition.”

Richard The leads a graduate course in data visualization at Parsons. Last year, his students used the Met’s collection data as the bases for their projects. One student made a dynamic, interactive map of where the Van Gogh paintings traveled before they arrived in New York; another plotted how many objects of different metals like gold or silver reside in the Met.

Dr. Posner’s UCLA students work with data from cultural institutions to find stories about the art and objects, yes, but also to reflect on how we as a culture have chosen what to canonize and memorialize about ourselves.

“There’s this whole other side of art that’s really all about information, and can be investigated by looking at trends, artists, nationalities, or genders,” Posner said. “So when you look at those aspects of a collection that can be expressed as data, you can see trends that turn out to be important, but which can’t necessarily be deduced just by looking at individual artworks.”

“You can’t really anticipate all of the types of uses that someone might want to make of a collection,” Padilla said. “Rather than trying to anticipate all of that, you can create an API, and that gives users the ability to remix collections, or even create new forms of access.”

That is exactly how the Met hopes people will come to the collection, now that it’s more accessible and machine-readable than before: with a fresh perspective that they might not have thought of themselves. 

Channeled some internet-buzz energies into this @Wikipedia stub on signature quilts. This quilt has 350 signatures including those of eight US presidents. I can show it to you b/c @metmuseum put a CC0 @creativecommons license on it. Thank you! https://t.co/10jcD9NERX pic.twitter.com/B59wWRpVbU

Tallon also hopes the API and digitization as a whole enables art to become more seamlessly integrated with everyday life.

“There’s no rule for how you have to engage in this content,” Tallon said. “The dream scenario is every time someone goes online, they see an object from the Met’s collection, and they don’t even realize it’s an object from the Met’s collection. It’s the inspiration point somewhere.”

Tallon envisions .gif keyboards populated with della Robias or Rodins, Pinterest boards filled with patterns from ancient ceramics and fabrics. 

“I’m not kidding when I say everyone’s life would be that much better if you woke up and saw a beautiful image of something from around the world, and be able to serve up the image that best serves someone’s mood or personality at the time,” Tallon said. “I think we can do that. And then if people want to dive deeper, and get some more interpretive content, then great. If they just want to be inspired and just think differently for a fraction of their day, god bless too.”

The walls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art are always changing.

A museum without walls

Barbara Bridgers’ office is warm in comparison to the concrete technical space of the rest of the imaging department. It has a wall covered in old motherboards, previously left on her desk by employees who figured she would know what to do with them (she did not); curiously, it comprises a sloping concrete ledge, which is really the remnants of a one-time museum wall. 

“This was a former external wall of the building,” Bridgers explained, gesturing. “When they were finishing up my office, they called me and said, well, you have a ledge.”

As technology has advanced, museums including the Met have had to decide what the scope of a museum should be. 

The choice is not absolute, but institutions like the Met, Hammer, and Smithsonian make judgments about and allocate precious resources toward whether to tear down an institution’s walls, or create a more dynamic space within. 

“Putting art on the walls is always going to be what museums do,” the Hammer’s Leers said. “But for a first time in a while, [digital] is putting a broad array of possibilities in front of us, and asking us to choose. Which can be uncomfortable, and scary, and exciting.”

“We’re more than a building now.” 

As with the original wall in Bridgers’ office, the Met has chosen to keep the foundation of the institution in tact, while expanding around the center, in order to ultimately transcend any physical space. The light-filled Greek and Roman sculpture gallery will always house figures from the West’s cultural roots. But the purposes of the former slide library and imaging department above will change and grow, and the people who dive deepest into the collection won’t necessarily work within the Met’s walls.

“I’m sure if you asked the people who founded the museum in the 1870s, their aim was to make the collection accessible by putting it on public display, quite literally,” Tallon said. “The technologies and opportunities, what it means to make something accessible, has changed so much. Even just the idea of what a museum is, what the Met is. We’re more than a building now.”

Automne 1915, Hylewood, Canada (5/11)

Je me plains, mais cela pourrait être pire. Un des caporal-chefs du bataillon s’est vu amputé des deux jambes. Moi, il m’en reste une. Je ne suis donc pas tant que cela à plaindre. Chose curieuse, je ressens de terribles douleurs au niveau de ma jambe absente, qui me réveillent la nuit. Mon moignon est dégonflé, et pour réentrainer mes muscles, l’infirmière m’a fait faire des exercices plusieurs fois par jours, que je continue aujourd’hui. J’ai refusé qu’on me confectionne une jambe de bois, cela me parait trop incommodant, et je ne veux pas ressembler à quelque pirate. Je lui préfère des béquilles, qui ont le mérite d’entrainer mes bras. Je porte toujours des bandages, que je dois retirer et changer régulièrement.

[Transcription] Jules Le Bris : Vous n’avez pas intérêt à me lâcher. Heather Delacroix : Je ne vous lâcherai pas. Et si je vous lâchais, vous saurez tenir seul. Et si vous tombiez, vous savez le faire sans vous blesser et vous redresser. Heather Delacroix : Ne vous inquiétez pas, j’ai de l’expérience avec les amputés. On va faire des petits exercices tous les jours pour renforcer le membre résiduel. Jules Le Bris : Je suis debout depuis une minute et j’ai déjà l’impression que c’est trop. L’époque où je le faisais sans y penser me parait distante. Heather Delacroix : Vous allez vous habituer. C’est comme votre équilibre. Laissez le temps, faites vos soins et vos exercices, et tout cela viendra tout seul.

Funimation Updates English Dub Cast Listings For "JUNI TAISEN, Black Clover," "Kino's Journey," "GARO" and More

You know... anime doesn't always introduce everyone in the first episode. Or, sometimes, they're there, but they don't speak yet. Or, there are noteworthy one-off characters in later episodes.

Automne 1915, Hylewood, Canada (4/11)

Je suis pas mécontent de quitter cet enfer. Hooge a été un véritable carnage. Tous mes cousins ont été blessés, moins gravement que moi ceci dit. De nombreux camarades sont morts, mais les Anglais nous ont bien vengés, ils ont mis au point un explosif qui a laissé un énorme cratère de 120 pieds de large et 20 pieds de profondeur, et a emporté une centaine d’Allemands. Le problème, c’est qu’ils ont réagi et repris la tranchée ensuite, grâce à leur nouvelle arme barbare qu’on appelle lance-flamme, et qui a coûté la vie à 400 Anglais et dont une quinzaine de Canadiens, qui ne se sont pas laissés effrayer et qui ont repris le château et le cratère avant la fin de l’été. Mes camarades tombés ont été enterrés sur place. Beaucoup étaient tellement brûlés qu’on n’a pas su les identifier.

[Transcription] Heather Delacroix : Vous avez fait vos massages et vos étirements ? Jules Le Bris : Pas encore. Heather Delacroix : Faites-les. Je ne serai pas toujours derrière vous à vous materner, il va falloir que vous vous discipliniez. Heather Delacroix : Quoi, vous allez me dire qu’un gars comme vous se laisse rebuter par un exercice un peu douloureux ? Jules Le Bris : Ce n’est pas cela qui me gêne. Heather Delacroix : Ne me dites pas que c’est parce que vous voulez que JE le fasse ! Vous n’êtes pas mon seul patient, Le Bris, je n’ai pas le temps pour vos enfantillages. Jules Le Bris : Non, c’est autre chose. Heather Delacroix : Quoi d’autre ? Jules Le Bris : Lorsque je lâche le lit avec mes mains pour masser ma jambe, je tombe à la renverse. Je n’ai aucun équilibre. Je me sens humilié. Heather Delacroix : Vous êtes amputé d’une jambe, Le Bris. Les chutes feront partie intégrante de votre apprentissage de la marche. Plutôt que de refuser de faire les exercices qui risquent de vous faire choir, je vais rester près de vous, et je vais vous montrer comment tomber sans vous faire mal, et comment vous relever efficacement.

Automne 1915, Hylewood, Canada (2/11)

Je me sens considérablement diminué - j’ai beaucoup de mal à réfléchir et à me concentrer, plus encore qu’avant, et ma mémoire me fait tant défaut que je peine à me souvenir des mots de vocabulaire les plus courants. Je me sens très raide, j’ai les articulations douloureuses, j’ai l’impression d’avoir pris dix ans d’un coup. Pour couronner le tout, j’ai beaucoup de mal à déglutir, si bien que je ne peux manger que de la soupe, et j’ai attrapé pendant mon comas une maladie infectueuse liée à la nourriture que l'on nous servait, qui ne m’est toujours pas passée, pour laquelle on me traite avec des pommades. Elle n’est pas dangereuse, mais très incommodante.

[Transcription] Heather Delacroix : Bonjour, Le Bris. Heureuse de vous retrouver parmi nous. Jules Le Bris : Qu’est-ce que… Où suis-je ? Heather Delacroix : Vous êtes à l’hôpital de Lijddsenthoek, dans la section tenue par la 3e CCS de l’armée canadienne. Jules Le Bris : Oh, non ! Simmon, est-il… Heather Delacroix : Simmon va bien. Il a reçu une balle dans le mollet, et heureusement pour lui, car sinon, il aurait été dans le trou d’obus avec vous, et il serait en bien mauvais état. Jules Le Bris : Ma jambe… Heather Delacroix : Elle était constellée d’éclats et elle commençait à se gangréner. Heather Delacroix : Toute la jambe était morte. Vous le seriez aussi si je n’avais pas amputé. Jules Le Bris : C’est monstrueux… Mes expéditions… Et que va dire ma femme ? Heather Delacroix : Qu’elle est heureuse que vous soyez en vie. Faites-moi confiance, je suis bien placée pour le savoir.

Automne 1915, Hylewood, Canada

Chers cousins,

Je vous écris de mon lit cher, au Canada, d’où j’effectue la fin de ma convalescence. J’ai passé trois des cinq derniers mois dans le comas. Les cauchemars se sont succédés, souvent similaires. Je rêve que mes camarades ont besoin d’aide, qu’ils sont blessés, et que je ne peux pas les sauver - mes jambes s’enlisent, et derrière moi surgit un géant de métal, armé d’ongles plus fins que l’acier qui d’une main m’immobilise, et de l’autre transperce les copains, pénètrent la chair sans la déchirer, et boit leur sang, à la manière d’une sangsue. Voilà le genre de rêve qui m’a animé pendant trois mois - autant vous dire que j’ai soupé du sommeil.

[Transcription] Zéphir Rumédier : Il dort toujours ? Bert Simmon : Toujours. Comme un bienheureux. Zéphir Rumédier : Ça fait plus d’une semaine… Tu crois qu’il va finir par se réveiller ? Bert Simmon : Il faut bien qu’il se requinque… Bert Simmon : Après tout, il a perdu une jambe. Marcellin Hamon : Moi j’en ai perdu deux, et je suis réveillé ! Arthur Rumédier : Tout le monde ne réagit pas aux amputations de la même manière, caporal. Hervé-Émile Paquin : Il parait qu’il a été trainé hors d’un trou d’obus par l’infirmière Delacroix sur plus de six cent pieds. Il parait qu’elle a dû enjamber son mari mort pour le récupérer. Arthur Rumédier : Lieutenant, elle va nous entendre… Heather Delacroix : Elle vous entend parfaitement, et elle aimerait que vous cessiez de jacasser, tous autant que vous êtes. Extinction des feux. Arthur Rumédier : Déjà ? Marcellin Hamon : Il fait encore jour… Heather Delacroix : Vous n’êtes pas au music hall, Sergent Rumédier, vous êtes pensionnaire, et le moins longtemps vous le resterez, le mieux je me porterai. Heather Delacroix : Certains d’entre vous ont besoin de repos… Tout le monde au lit.

Il est possible que vous receviez cette lettre déjà ouverte. Il ne faut pas s’en étonner, les lettres sont parfois ouvertes à la poste de départ à Ypres pour épier les militaires, mais les vôtres sont toujours bien fermées.

J’ai toujours espoir que la guerre finisse bientôt, et que nous rentrions tous en forme et en bonne santé. Je vous embrasse.

Votre bien dévoué,

Nous n’avons pas encore eu de vrai combat, à peine quelques escarmouches sur la route de Menin à Ypres, que les Anglais ne cessent de perdre et de reprendre, mais en face, les Boches grondent, et on risque de voir un peu d’action bientôt. Le Major Filiatrault, qui dirige toute la compagnie, veut nous faire déplacer - mais je n’ai pas le droit d’écrire où.

[Transcription] Thomas Crose : Poussez-vous, j’ai des informations urgentes à transmettre ! Odin Delacroix : Que se passe-t-il, Adjudant-chef ? Thomas Crose : Capitaine, les Allemands ont pris la tranchée est. Odin Delacroix : Qu’en est-il des hommes de la troisième section ? Thomas Crose : Nous n’avons plus de contact. Ils sont morts ou capturés. Odin Delacroix : Que les gradés transmettent mes ordres : que tous les hommes se préparent au combat. Renforcez les défenses avec des sacs de sable, installez des barbelés et tout ce qui est à notre disposition pour tenir cette tranchée. Quoi qu’il arrive, on ne laissera pas le sacrifice de la troisième section être vain. Jean Brillant : Vous avez entendu les ordres du Capitaine ? Au boulot ! Odin Delacroix : Il faut attaquer avant de se faire saigner. Il va falloir sortir…

Il pleut, il pleut… et surtout, on s’ennuie beaucoup. Nous restons quatre jours dans la tranchée de première ligne à jouer quelques litres de vin aux cartes, puis nous sont relevés et nous allons quatre jours en repos à l’arrière-front où sont installés les cantonnements de repos et les réserves logistiques. C’est à peu près toute l’action qui nous occupe pour l’instant.
