🔍 Discoverability is structural, not seasonal. Without strong surfacing, even great IP stays invisible to young audiences. Metadata, curation, and measurement matter. 📄 Read more in D5.1: zenodo.org/records/1724... #ANIMAMUNDI #EuropeanAnimation #HorizonEurope

Séquence hallucinante d'une juge française révélant les pressions américaines dont elle a fait l'objet dans l'affaire Le Pen. Le RN veut faire campagne sur le slogan "on est chez nous"? En tout cas, ses sponsors se sentent déjà comme chez eux.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

Life's not ideal right now, but there is a cinema in Brussels screening all the Ghibli movies throughout the semester

It was great working with the colleagues from ULB on this pièce. It's based on our work in ALGEPI . We had to be synthetic for the comparison of AI's impact on journalists in Belgium, France and Spain but this will be developed in forthcoming publications. Check out www.algepi.com

Dans le dernier n° de la revue Medijske studije/Media Studies, nous publions avec B. Lefèvre, A. Errando, A. Afilipoaie et H.

Aujourd'hui, si vous tapez « vel… » sur Spotify, ce n'est pas Velvet Underground qui vous est proposé, mais The Velvet Sundown. Un groupe monté de toutes pièces par IA, qui cumule presque autant d'écoutes mensuelles que de jeunes espoirs de la pop française. leclaireur.fnac.com/article/6070...

Spano with an event study design of the impact of film releases on book sales. There is a positive, significant impact of film releases on the probability to appear on bestseller lists. There is also a small negative effect 6 months after the release

Piovesan behind the success of books: from cultural concentration to capitalistic concentration. In French context. Cultural concentration = what I would put in diversity on the demand/consumed side Capitalistic concentration = concentration of ownership

Almost final session for me at #acei 2025 on books. First Svetlana Kharchenkova on creating a market for children's picture books in china. This is based on using "reading guides". They are analysed as localisation devices. Cf market device. Concept that moves away from notions centre & periphery

The trick to any lab reorganisation is to just do the opposite of whatever you did last time

Now starting the session on 'streaming services'. First presentation by Chia-Yi Cheng on the promotion of online streaming TV series, based on uses & gratifications theory. Variables included: cultural info, audience identification, title informativeness. Which impact on audience satisfaction?

After a nice session on the economics of music and its impact on fairness, based on Fair MusE, it flows naturally into Michela Giorcelli on VIVA Verdi: an economic analysis of copyright and creativity. I see it's quite a jump in the past, though.

'Understanding and fostering diversity in the arts' panel. Fukuda explains feel from the perspective of the Champlain trio. They champion classical repertoire by female composers. They were often known while alive but forgotten once dead.

Handke on 'The great piracy experiment' with SLR of 81 high impact academic articles with factors of piracy Surveys are the most popular tools. Where ethics is covered, researchers find a significant impact. Neutralisation factors (inhibit the effect of ethics) yield significant coeff #acei2025

Now in the session on film industry, starting with a presentation by the colleagues from REBOOT discussing public value and comparing Austria and Greece.

Official opening of the Association for cultural economics international 2025 #acei2025 with a keynote by VERMEYLEN on AI and the art market focused on visual arts. He first discusses the consequences of AI production not being protected and fair remuneration for creators

Le culot sans limites (Israël a détruit tous les hôpitaux de Gaza et d'autres au Liban et en Syrie)

This gets more and more bizarre. How many countries can Israel attack, before EU politicians stop talking about the 'right to defend itself'?

Countries Israel has bombed since Trump took power: • Syria • Palestine • Lebanon • Yemen • Iraq • Egypt • Iran

Les gens qui viennent dire RIP Brian Wilson sous la vidéo YouTube de Kokomo 😭😭😭 Mais comment leur en vouloir, jamais cette chanson n'aurait dû être signée Beach Boys.
