Machine-readable
Nova Spivack of Radar Networks gave a talk on “Making Sense of the Semantic Web” at The Next Web Conference 2008. It’s getting a lot of citation as a timely simplification of the “semantic, web3.0” jargon.
The most interesting point is probably that Nova sees semantic as a movement to put meaning in the data rather than in apps in order to make it machine-readable. He argues that this need for increasing data linkage for machines will make the web infrastructurally more open.
Still Human, Still Here by Abbie Trayler-Smith at HOST gallery
Still Human, Still Here - the underground world of destitute asylum seekers

1 Honduras Street
London EC1Y 0TH
18 March – 4 April 2009
The shocking, hidden lives of refused asylum seekers whose bids for sanctuary have been rejected by the British government are revealed in a new exhibition commissioned by Panos Pictures.
Abbie Trayler-Smith has photographed men and women who have fled torture and persecution in troubled states including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Iraq, Somalia and Zimbabwe. They had hoped to find sanctuary in the UK but instead are enduring a new kind of torment - destitution.
Alain from DR Congo
Still Human Still Here: The underground world of refused and destitute asylum seekers is launched in association with the Still Human Still Here coalition of human rights organisations including Amnesty International and the Refugee Council, which is campaigning for an end to destitution for refused asylum seekers.
The exhibition runs at HOST Gallery from 18 March to 4 April.
Last One Out, Please Turn On The Light
Photographer Richard Nicholson has published a series documenting soon-to-be-gone darkrooms in London’s professional labs.
These lovingly preserved spaces were the cornerstone of the photographic industry before every photographer became a Photoshop operator, in the process losing something of the art, magic and sociality of the industry.
