This document discusses the photographic archive of the Sarawak Museum in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. The archive contains photographs dating back to the early 1900s documenting the various ethnic groups in Sarawak. Junaidi Bolhassan was the photographer for the museum for over 30 years, taking thousands of photos of daily life and events among groups like the Kenyah and Kayan people. The project aims to document the archive and connect photos with locations and people to preserve this historical and cultural information. Digitization and metadata are important for accessibility and future use of the collection.
Of pictures and memories: Archival photographs and community curation of cultural resources in Borneo
Abstract:
This project investigates archival photographs from the Sarawak Museum in Kuching, Malaysia, taken between 1951 and 1978 in remote communities of rural Borneo. The photographs, which have never been fully documented or viewed by the subject communities, are discussed as sites of memory and cultural resources, as members of the ethnic groups use them to anchor knowledge of their history and traditions to objects, people and locations shown in the photographs. Multiple interpretations of the pictures as colonial artifacts, ethnographic evidence, museum objects and family photographs are uncovered and contribute to their interpretation. The diverse meanings determine the social significance of the images, allowing for cultural, economic and political changes happening in these ethnic groups to be traced. The project uses methods including crowd sourcing and community curation, extending the scope of archival and museum practices to establish agency for the communities to contribute to the historical discourse.
In 2009, when worked for the Region of Peel government, Canada, we successfully used patent mapping to identify 20 US patent intensive companies as the potential employers for highly educated immigrants. Following this initiative, we have created and been maintaining a Canadian patent competitive intelligence (CI) database to track the latest patent competence of over 3600 Canadian entities on a weekly basis. Through our work with Region of Peel from 2010 to 2012, this database shows that it can provide no-older-than-7-day intelligence for long-term strategic research/planning and short-term tactics. This is also the first attempt in Canada to use patent landscape as a regional economic strength indicator, a baseline for policy harmonization and policy performance evaluation.

Digital/Computer Paintings as a Modern- day Igbo Artists’ vehicle for creatin...ikennaaghanya
Revolutions come in many varieties. Some tear down established notions destructively, while others consist of forging new paradigms through constructive means such as an ideological or technological innovation that fundamentally alters an individual or group’s creative path. But all have their place in history. This paper charts a course of change in art and art styles, as been practiced by some modern-day Igbo artists. It follows the meandering path that has been influenced by technological advances that have in turn influenced art culture and practices in technique. In particular, this paper examines how the modern-day processes of digital art have attempted to broaden the modern-day Igbo artist’s knowledge base, and has influenced new ways of doing old things. Together these ideas have impacted modern-day art by creating a fertile landscape allowing an artist’s inquisitive tendency to take root and uniquely flourish. The aim of this paper is to analyze the various digital paintings produced by three modern-day Igbo artists (Ikenna Aghanya, Okechukwu Johnson and Chidi Onwuekwe) and in turn examine how the use of the computer, as an art tool has affected their creative process. The paper will also look at the functions of this medium as it pertains to each of the decorative paintings done by these artists.

thGAP - Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives Project, presents an evening of input lectures, discussions and a performative workshop on artistic interventions for future scenarios of human genetic and inheritable modifications.
To begin our lecturers, Marc Dusseiller aka "dusjagr" and Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, will give an overview of their transdisciplinary practices, including the history of hackteria, a global network for sharing knowledge to involve artists in hands-on and Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) working with the lifesciences, and reflections on future scenarios from the 8-bit computer games of the 80ies to current real-world endeavous of genetically modifiying the human species.
We will then follow up with discussions and hands-on experiments on working with embryos, ovums, gametes, genetic materials from code to slime, in a creative and playful workshop setup, where all paticipant can collaborate on artistic interventions into the germline of a post-human future.

Tackling Poverty in Nigeria, by growing Art-based SMEsikennaaghanya
With the rate of unemployment towering high in the country, lack of business and managerial skills or knowledge as well as fear of the unknown have crippled youths from venturing into private businesses that could have encouraged self-employment. This paper focuses on tackling unemployment through vocational/entrepreneurship education as the way to get out of joblessness. It is in the light of this that this paper examined the role and contributions of vocational/technical education to employment generation Awka town, Anambra State, Nigeria. It is obvious from the paper that youths found great value in skills acquisition believing that the fight against poverty cannot be won by just receiving money from rich people every day or every month, rather take from them wealth-job creating skills through vocational education for self-sustenance because anybody who wants to be rich and productive rather than being fed and dependent must start his/her own business. At the end, the paper recommended among others that training and re-training vocational/entrepreneurial skills for youths especially those that have dropped-out-of formal employment or education be facilitated to banish hunger and poverty in the society.

6. The archive
✤ photographs dating back
from the early 1900s
✤ Glass slides, medium format
black and white images,
35mm film, dia slides, digital
photography
✤ cataloguing and organisation
of information on occasion,
previous use, creator and
subject matter of the original
material
The earliest photos in the archive are glass slides from the early system. Most photographs are filed under categories according
1900’s. There are black and white medium format images, to ethnic group or location; some examples of this are the
35mm film negatives and prints, slides and digital images. In Kenyah/Kayan photos used in this project, two ethnic groups
spite of being constantly accessed by researchers and museum that share a similar geographical area and who therefore and
staff, the archive has no centralised catalogue or indexing for reasons of cultural similarities are often grouped together.
7. The archive
✤ use of digital storage and
digital photography at the
archive
✤ Approximately 1000 - 1500
images per ethnic group
✤ Medium format images
between 1949 - 1978
✤ storage and conservation -
material decay
For this project, medium format black-and-white photographs Longhouses’ or JF–Agriculture, Husbandry & Fishing’. Each
between 1951 and 1978 are used. This makes up all of the medium format negative booklet has a corresponding A4 folder
material on these groups using medium format photos, around holding contact prints for easier review and other remarks
1.500 images. The negatives are kept in booklets with 100 to 150 written on the side, although it is unclear who made these
photos, named according to subject matter, such as ‘JC–Kenyah comments. Conservation is an issue due to the tropical climate.
8. Scope
✤ images between 1949 and
1978, with the background of
Japanese occupation,
cessation of Sarawak from
Brooke to British colonial
rule, Merdeka and Sarawak
becoming part of the
Federation of Malaysia,
Emergency and Konfrontasi
When facing the task of making sense of the photographic groups of around together around 200.000 members, and none
material, it became clear at the outset of the project that more of the photos were taken earlier than 1949, the assumption was
and especially more consistent details of the content, the that it could be possible to find witnesses and informants that
location and circumstance of the creation of the photos needed remember the people and places in the pictures, and
to be collected. Since the photos are covering small ethnic preliminary field work has shown that this is indeed the case.
9. Digitisation
✤ development of best practise
including technical issues
such as image format,
resolution etc.
✤ searchable keywords and
descriptions
✤ complete set of metadata
ensures transfer of
information with image and
for copyright purposes
Working with the material of the archive requires first of all the sizes and questions of colour modes – is the sepia tone of the
construction of a searchable archiving system. A good practise images, caused by ageing, part of the object or can the negative
guide for digitisation needed to be established, based on be scanned in black and white format? Fortunately, many very
feasibility considerations such as slower scanning speed at well documented projects provide advice and expertise, as
higher resolutions, problems of digital storage at higher file many museums are now digitising their collections.

identified as the most suitable software for the digital database. Metadata is searchable, and the images can even be modified to
It enables the user to add metadata such as descriptions and some extent without having to use another image processing
keywords to the images, compare photos, export them at software. The software is affordable and easy to use.
11. Investigation
✤ collecting all available
information in a systematic
manner, and using it for
cross-references
✤ taking the images to their
suspected place of origin
✤ mapping and tracing the
itinerary of the photographer
The only information consistent on all the negatives is the date. buildings or well known personalities provide additional hints.
Digitising the images and collecting the dates and all available Is the location ascertained, a visit to the community brings to
information in a database makes it possible to trace the itinerary light a wealth of information on the photos themselves and their
of the photographer, who would use on river travel. This makes content as well as specific traditions, legends and oral history,
it possible to retrace the route of the photographer. Specific tales of genealogy and the old religions and much else.
12. Locations
This is a map of the overall area the images are located - the they have belonged to their own village. In many cases their
Baram & Tinjar river system in Sarawak, near the border to own photographs have been destroyed in longhouse fires and
Brunei. Tracing all dates and all available locations, the route of photos of their ancestor were burned. In the preliminary
the photographer can be traced accurately. The communities fieldwork, many families asked for copies of the photos, which
often have vivid memories of the persons in the images, should were made available to them.

14. Field work
✤ who is interested, and who
knows what? Differences in
age group, social role or
position and gender
✤ much regional variation -
recognition of people, objects
and occasions only in the
immediate social group
✤ memory, but no nostalgia
Worth states that ‘…meaning cannot be inherent within the sign what memories do they bring back, and who is able to access
itself, but exists rather in the social context, conventions, and rules them? Are the images part of the communal self-identification
within, and by which, articulatory and interpretive strategies are with a specific ethnicity, or are they irrelevant from the moment
invoked by producers and interpreters of symbolic forms’ (Worth, the thing they depict is no longer present, like an object replaced
1981, pp.166). In the communities, what do the photos evoke, be a new technology or a person deceased?
15. Research
✤ layers of knowledge:
✤ distant knowledge - already
forgotten
✤ items of special interest -
people or objects that have
become unusual
✤ obvious or self-evident
knowledge
✤ misinterpretation
All the memories the images evoke are encased in modes of and comments are caused by things that are curious or have
enunciation. Often, the images contain objects or events that become rare but are still familiar, or familiar faces. The fact that
seem to be so common to the viewer as not to need any these things are familiar but rare and thus unusual make them
explanation. In other cases, the informer may not comment on the cause for much discussion when the photos are presented to
an image because they just do not know about it. Most reactions a community, and this can also lead to misinterpretation.
16. Analysis
✤ influence of the
photographer
✤ view of the ‘subject’
✤ technology and equipment
✤ anthropological standards
& political considerations
at the time of creation of
the photos
When trying to interpret the photographs, other factors need to logical photography was supposed to be like. It also reveals

photographer and technology used in the creation of the distinct bias that misleads the viewer. The Museum as a

17. Future directions
✤ use in exhibitions and
publications
✤ crowd sourcing, including
location mapping
✤ online database for
researchers
✤ personal use within the
families and communities
Some of the applications of this research are very communities are actively engaged in online discussions on their
straightforward and include the use of the photos in exhibitions own ethnicity. This could include the option of being able to
and publications, the ease of use for future researchers and the map a location on a satellite map. However, the images should

sourcing has been taken into consideration, as the local since most of the time they would not have ever seen them.
18. Analysis
✤ communal memory and
ethnic identity - changes
and developments
✤ customs and traditions:
what is preserved, what is
discarded, and what is
added?
The museum photographs in this project are not only tools for media and technology. They bear witness to changes in society,
scientific documentation but are analysed as historical but also to all that remains constant. They offer an opportunity
documents in their role within a society with a strong emphasis to discuss identity in terms of shared traditions and customs,
on re-appropriation, transferral of ownership and various and they also can serve as ways to salvage and archive and,
possibilities for the future including those that arise with new eventually, repossess and recover.
