Aaron Straup Cope | Keynote Speech FACT Symposium

I was delighted to watch this Keynote address from my former colleague and long time pal, Aaron Straup Cope. In it he makes a number of nice references to the projects we worked on together and the things I worked on after he and Seb Chan left the team at Cooper Hewitt.

It’s been 15 years since and I’m amazed at how the work is still talked about across the sector. I’m really proud of that work and reflecting these days, I’m glad we did the things we did and in the way we did them, even when they wound up looking like “expensive mistakes.”

This talk is worth your time if you care about cultural heritage, museums, and the internet. It’s especially relevant today as we are continually asked to bear witness to the possible undoing of hundreds of years of American democracy!

this is aaronlandit's not magic – finding our way back to 'just f*cking do it' from 'move fast and break things'As a general rule plywood and two-by-fours are the structural underpinnings of nearly everything in the built environment no matter how posh, luxurious or expensive the surface trappings. In that same way at least one, but usually both, of the core technologies that define the web still run most of what we call “modern” despite it being old and outdated. Crucially, the reason that plywood, two-by-fours and the web are so important is not because they self-assemble. They don’t. They are important because the qualities which define them make the process of assembling and, critically, re-assembling affordable in time, money and cognitive overhead. They are the means not the ends.

A #long-shot request to the #interwebs #hivemind collected memory...

I vaguely recall a scene from a recent British police drama, I *think* it was #Annika, where the detective was called in to her boss (Superintendent??) for a very awkward conversation about an email she had supposedly sent asking her (happily married) boss out on a date. Turned out it was a prank email from her colleagues using her unlocked computer.

I thought it would make a great and humorous way to make the point with my team about locking workstations when not in use (as per company policy). And trying to find it is now bugging me!

Does anyone out there have a better memory of the scene. Which series or episode? Do I even have the show right?

Or maybe you can suggest alternate scenes/clips that emphasize the same point?

Thanks hivemind!
