Every three years, we work with curator Didi Dunphy to put together an exhibition of work by Georgia artists focused on a theme that then travels the state. The newest one is "Seams to Be: New Approaches to Textile Techniques," which opens at the Lyndon House Arts Center October 2 before moving on to the LaGrange Art Museum, the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Macon, the Albany Museum Of Art and the Columbus Museum.

SimViews: An Interactive Multi-Agent System Simulating Visitor-to-Visitor Conversational Patterns to Present Diverse Perspectives of Artifacts in Virtual Museums
Offering diverse perspectives on a museum artifact can deepen visitors' understanding and help avoid the cognitive limitations of a single narrative, ultimately enhancing their overall experience. Physical museums promote diversity through visitor interactions. However, it remains a challenge to present multiple voices appropriately while attracting and sustaining a visitor's attention in the virtual museum. Inspired by recent studies that show the effectiveness of LLM-powered multi-agents in p…

I first read "Mother Earth, Mother Board" by Neal Stephenson around 15 years ago. It included a visit to the Telegraph Museum (now PK Porthcurno Museum of Global Communications) at Porthcurno in Cornwall, and I finally got to go there. One of the things that Stephenson describes is a collection of faulty cables. And its still on display.

"Draw me a curator" Examining the visual stereotyping of a cultural services profession by generative AI
Based on 230 visualisations, this paper examines the depiction of museum curators by the popular generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) model, ChatGPT4o. While the AI-generated representations do not reiterate popular stereotypes of curators as nerdy, conservative in dress and stuck in time rummaging through collections, they contrast sharply with real-world demographics. AI-generated imagery extremely underrepresents women (3.5% vs 49% to 72% in reality) and disregards ethnic communities othe…

Social and Telepresence Robots for Accessibility and Inclusion in Small Museums
There are still many museums that present accessibility barriers, particularly regarding perceptual, cultural, and cognitive aspects. This is especially evident in low-density population areas. The aim of the ROBSO-PM project is to improve the accessibility of small museums through the use of social robots and social telepresence robots, focusing on three museums as case studies: the Museum of the Holy Shroud in Turin, a small but globally known institution, and two lesser known mountain museum…

Recent JWST/NIRSpec observations have revealed strong methane emission at 3.326 microns in the $\approx$482 K brown dwarf CWISEP J193518.59$-$154620.3 (W1935). Atmospheric modeling suggests the presence of a $\approx$300 K thermal inversion in its upper atmosphere, potentially driven by auroral activity. We present an extension of the retrieved spectra of W1935 with and without inversion spanning 1--20 microns, to identify thermal inversion-sensitive spectral features and explore the origin of …
