Asserting claims: Cryptographically signing the digital artifacts we produce

Why is SFO Museum signing the vector embeddings that we’re producing? To provide an additional guarantee that the data we are publishing is, in fact, the data we published. Vector embeddings are, by their nature, basically impossible to “spot check”. Their size, shape and volume lend themselves to subtle, often imperceptible, corruption whether those changes are introduced by malice or negligence. By providing digital signatures for these embeddings we can provide the means to ensure that the data have not been tampered with after they’ve been downloaded from our website.

Coloring Books Pages For the SFO Museum Aviation Collection

We have launched a new experimental feature on the SFO Museum Aviation Website: Coloring book pages (or sheets) for a subset of the objects in our collection. Coloring books are PDF files with a stylized, black and white outline of an object for you to print out and color as you see fit and can be thought of as a second attempt at producing a museum artifact that can follow you “out of the building”.

Updating the SFO Museum Wayfinding Service - Galleries, Public Art, Flights and Barcodes

Not enough museums follow their visitors “out of the building” or offer them the means to continue to think about what they’ve seen after the fact. This remains the great untapped opportunity for all museums but especially a museum in an airport since, in many ways, “leaving the building” is what an airport is all about.
