Hi Heartsong, Gabrielle and Ed,

Have you seen this
"The Way It Is: Summer of '67" by the Canadian Broadcasting System?

It's interesting and well done ...

The Way it Was: San Francisco Summer of 1967


https://youtu.be/pEejp5_UMyQ

It was first broadcast in 1968 ... interesting shots of SF.

Searched on the introducer John Saywell Summer of '67 and found:

What do you think of the vision for the Magic scenes, Heartsong?

1960s' World University and School wiki subject for open teaching and learning ...
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/1960s

There's a button on this Youtube video itself on my screen in the bottom right which looks like it could be used for navigation if this became a virtual world ... am curious to realize this.

It seems like this video itself is its own kind of "Lucid Dreaming" per 'Lucid Dreaming - Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.'

Warm regards, Scott

Northern cardinal: Doubt a Toyota humanoid robot will be getting out of the driver's seat soon ... like in this Google video, Deeply impressed by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, whom I heard recently in a Stanford Lucid Dreaming talk, Data HEAVEN in SO SO many ways, Would be great to talk interactively and in new ways with Stanford Philosopher and Professor of Comparative Literature Richard Rorty in this 2000 Dutch interview with the Dutch Wim Kayzer - https://youtu.be/bTSdyxKyHrU ... and as avatar bot in virtual Harbin.

Hi Sunheart, (Gabrielle and Ed),

3 books now with Harbin in their titles - https://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity

Re the word 'virtuous,' Gabrielle, I also head in the direction of nonharming, caring, not making victims of people (i.e. slave trade, sex trade) , non-stealing ... somewhat also explored in these Hippy Anjali Yoga Notations - http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html - as well ...

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi: Combining Wikidata with Euroepana museums with wiki World University and School and in a realistic virtual earth for museums too - #RealisticVirtualEarthForMuseums * 'Winged Victory of Samothrace' sculpture (aka 'Nike of Samothrace'), located in the Louvre museum in Paris, France * * * In my "Gazing at the Box: Tourism in the Context of the Internet and Globalization (Internetity)" UC Berkeley paper, which is new social theory, I also explore questions of virtual tourism with regard to the Louvre as well ... * * * Re: [GABA-STAMMTISCH] Looking for German children's books - See: Children's Literature and Wisdom https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool. org/wiki/Children%27s_Literature_and_Wisdom and Germany World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool. org/wiki/Germany (planned in German with online free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D., and I.B. degrees)



Hi Magnus and Karin,

Re further conversation, thanks Magnus for the Europeana - https://www.europeana.eu/portal/en - information in Telegram. Am partly seeking to answer my own questions regarding World Univ & Sch in my email to you, from the links you provided.




. . .

My 3 brainstorming items/ questions:

How best to plan for Wikidata into WUaS Museum Wiki PAGES ~ https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Museums ~ (at MIT OCW-centric WIKI World Univ & Sch, which again is planning to create wiki pages for all museums in all 7,111 known living languages) ?
How to plan for Wikidata into 1 wiki realistic virtual earth (think Streetview with group-buildable Second Life with avatars, but realistic)? ... (and regarding a new social science method i'm developing called -
ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - with linked open data - see in general
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy?m=0 )?
And how even to add new images of paintings taken by someone wearing Google Glass to Europeana or Wikidata? Google Glass is here (and the idea too) -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/anagallis-arvensis-tour-us-national.html?m=0
...
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/tardigrade-how-best-in-1.html -


. . .


And since World Univ & Sch's front end wiki subject pages are a bit like Wikipedia's - eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europeana with its Info Box which draws information from Wikidata, for ex. - eg https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P7704 - and which 'structured knowledge database' World Univ & Sch - eg https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Museums - will draw from in a similar way, I'm learning here. Thank you for this edifying conversation. 

So I next added "Europeana - digitalized museum collections' link https://www.europeana.eu/" newly to the WUaS Museums' page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Museums - which one main idea for WUaS.

And further, with an interest in facilitating wiki-adding photos to a realistic virtual earth such as Google Street View, I found the Louvre museum in Paris in Google Street View (with its TIME SLIDER) - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Louvre+Museum/@48.8606111,2.337644,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xb975fcfa192f84d4!8m2!3d48.8606111!4d2.337644

I then found in Europeana the main page for the sculpture "The Winged Victory of Samothrace - Nike" which is in the Louvre - https://www.europeana.eu/portal/en/search?q=winged+victory+of+samothrace - and then some images for Nike in Europeana - https://www.europeana.eu/portal/en/record/2020903/KAS358.html?q=winged+victory+of+samothrace#dcId=1583003660830&p=1 . 

I then found "Nike" itself in Google Street View - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Louvre+Museum/@48.8606111,2.337644,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipPoR96VgFEXkk2nZScqIJAuNcI1_iLABGbZaPnh!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipPoR96VgFEXkk2nZScqIJAuNcI1_iLABGbZaPnh%3Dw203-h270-k-no!7i3024!8i4032!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xb975fcfa192f84d4!8m2!3d48.8606111!4d2.337644 - and if I had taken an excellent and unique photo (or video with docent presentation) of "Nike" I'd consider adding it to Street View as well, when and where I was standing in the Louvre I took it, so that this might become eventually part of the basis for an interactive Realistic Virtual Earth for Museums. (Now how to add many different Nike photos into a Realistic Virtual Earth for Museums in Google Street View with time slider for academic research and knowledge generation, and visiting too at different times in the Louvre's history, and in different ways? - is one question). 

But how further to engage Wikidata regarding Europeana newly in Wikidata - and in World University and School's developing, conceptually, realistic virtual earth for museums (and archaeology!)? 

Am thinking this through here, and learning about Wikidata (which WUaS is in) ... and newly with regards to Europeana. Have added some of our communications here already - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/aurora-prepping-for-pi-day-with-scratch.html . (Sorry I don't speak Swedish - and thank you for your understanding of English, Magnus and Karin!) 

Regards, Scott

Winged Victory of Samothrace


The context of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, discovered in 1863, is controversial, with proposals ranging from the Battle of Salamis in 306 BC to the Battle of Actium in 31 BC as the event being celebrated. Datings based on stylistic evaluation have been equally variable, ranging across the same three centuries, but perhaps tending to an earlier date.[3] For much of the 20th century, the prevailing theory, based on the works of Hermann Thiersch and Karl Lehmann, considered it a Rhodian monument dedicated following the victories at Side and Myonessos in 190 BC, and suggested that it might have been carved by the Rhodian sculptor Pythocritus.[4]However, by the mid-2010s, the reconstructions of the monument proposed by Lehmann have been shown to be false (the remains of the surrounding space that housed the Victory belong to the Roman period), and the question of why the statue was dedicated on Samothrace, which at the time was dominated by the Greek Kingdom of Macedonia, remains unanswered.[5]

In my
"Gazing at the Box:
Tourism in the Context of the Internet and Globalization (Internetity)"
UC Berkeley paper, which is new social theory, I also explore questions of virtual tourism with regard to the Louvre as well ...



Gazing at the Box:
Tourism in the Context of the Internet and Globalization (Internetity)
http://scottmacleod.com/anth250v.htm


New social science / anthropological / sociological 'condition': Internetity, like modernity and post-modernity?


...

At beginning of paper:

"In this paper I suggest that modernity yields one interpretation of touristic experience, postmodernity may construct another, and Thurot and Thurots’ interpretation of advertising discourse produces yet another. Tourism,[1] now, in the context of the growth of the Internet and information technology[2] ("internetity") supersedes and incorporates these previous analyses and produces other interpretations of tourism with characteristics which I shall identify."



And at end:

"In conclusion, I want to suggest that globalization and the Internet create new conditions of social existence where the societal dynamic of integration (due to globalization and digital technologies) vs. cultural identity contributes to reshaping the touristic experience. For tourism, which is now global in scope, the Internet amplifies, facilitates, and extends the tourist’s opportunities, knowledge-base and experience.

As both digital and mobile tourism increase in the context of globalization, the potential for cultural integration also increases, reshaping cultural identities. Internet touristic discourse, in potentially superseding and incorporating modernity, post-modernism, and advertising touristic discourse, shapes a new hyper-touristic experience."

Porcupine caribou: Digital Turn re Anthropology - MediaAnthro, How is the related Robotics' Turn in Anthropology taking form re the Digital Turn in Anthropology, I wonder?, Seeking to grow World Univ & Sch into a Stanford & a MIT in each of all ~200 countries' main/official languages - w combined numbers of faculty & staff -& wiki schools in all 7097 living langs growing from Wikipedia's staffing growth in ~300 languages - 2.2 million Universitians?


Dear MediaAnthro, Francisco, Philipp, Sahana, Nina, Mark and All,

Thanks for this far-reaching focus on the Digital Turn re Anthropology - and archiving. In support of this conversation, I'd like to contribute the following seeds of resources, (and re Francisco's "a brief comment on Philipp question about the call for new concepts or methods to study “the digital”." beginning this particular thread ... ).

A)
Library Resources wiki subject page planned in each of all 7097 living languages (in Ethnologue) & 8481 languages (in Glottolog) at World Univ & Sch (WUaS) -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources - which pages can grow potentially infinitely.

Since WUaS is wiki we can all add online library resources from and in these languages (planned again in all 7097 living languages https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages). World Univ & Sch donated ourselves/WUaS to Wikidata/Wikibase in 2015 for co-development, and as a consequence got this new WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki above in 2017, where Wikidata/Wikibase (Wikipedia) is in ~300 languages. WUaS's "front end" isn't yet interoperable with our WUaS Wikidata / Wikibase "back end" structured knowledge database.

B)
World Univ & Sch is seeking to facilitate a realistic virtual earth for Libraries - conceptually think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Translate / TensorFlow + -  where we can all add libraries to this. For example, take a video of a physical archive - say an aisle of books in a library - convert this digitally from video to 3D interactivity (program not written yet), and add links to any given book or newspaper to the actual readable printed content. You can see some pictures of how this might work here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/10/cetonia-aurata-how-many-further-ways-we.html - and here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/12/san-gabriel-wilderness-libraries-in-all.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/lions-in-trees-all-libraries-all.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/lilies-in-garlands-can-world-university.html (and a realistic virtual earth for museums as well).

This new social science method which I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - allows for the politics of inclusion+++, since, like in Wikipedia (with its own developing history of the politics of inclusion), we all in ~300 languages can add resources, for example to Street View, or to wiki World Univ & Sch.

And re Nina's "To me, one of the most significant aspects of the digital in terms of ethnography is the way the digital can serve to open up places to other places. ..."

Nina and all, I'm seeking in this realistic virtual earth to develop actual-virtual, physical-digital direct correspondence as well - e.g. place-wise i.e. actual-virtual place or field site, - so opening physical places to and from virtual ones too - and also e.g. robotics-wise i.e. physical-digital robotics ... and all in ONE realistic virtual earth. This would thus inform robotics potentially too re the Digital Turn in Anthropology. For example, and as a starting place, Lego robots made from Lego WeDo2 and Lego Mindstorms EV3 robotics kits for learning also could be made virtually in Brick Street View and thus in Google Street View (in development). I just gave a talk about this - "HARBIN AND AVATAR BOTS: Robotics and Tourism" -  in the UC Berkeley Anthropology department on Fr. Oct 26, 2018 which you'll find here in video and with slides+ - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/10/lewis-river-washington-state-uc.html - if interested.

(I also shared some related thoughts on the Digital Turn in this MediaAnthro discussion on October 17th, which I'm posting below again). How is the related Robotics' Turn in Anthropology taking form re the Digital Turn in Anthropology, I wonder? Thank you for this very timely and topical MediaAnthro conversation.

Cheers, Scott

Thanks, Anna, and MediaAnthro,

I'm curious about the significance of Packer and Jordan's 5 characteristics in their book "Multimedia" (2000) - integration, interactivity, hypermedia, immersion, new forms of narrativity (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2010/05/nudibranch-to-conceptualize-virtual.html) - as well as presence, for said "Digital Turn." In what ways could coming into conversation with these lead to further developments theoretically?

I'm also curious about the role that an emerging realistic virtual earth might play here - conceptually like Google Street View with TIME SLIDER - and at the cellular and atomic levels too - / Maps / Earth / TensorFlow / all-languages and with realistic human and SPECIES' avatar bots.

For an actual-virtual anthropological example of a beginning realistic virtual earth, visit the Harbin Hot springs' gate (my physical-digital ethnographic field site) in Google Street View here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ where you can "walk" down the road "4 miles" to Middletown and "amble" around the streets there, if inclined. And add some photos or videos or computer modeling or text if you have them - a new anthropological method I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy.

Best regards,
Scott
