Blogging at the Museum

Museums aren’t just for ancient artifacts—they’re also for blogs, wikis and podcasts. The Dana Centre at London’s Science Museum electrifies itself this week with a festival of “do-it-yourself media.” Researchers and artists will lead workshops (BYO laptop) showing novices how to mix their own digital music or use open-source publishing tools. Attendees will learn more about their newfound power at evening lectures on copyright protection, online communities and the like. Please, someone buy a ticket to London so that you can report back on what “Robotic Feral Public Authoring” is. —Lauren Aaronson
