Social Media wird von KI-Bildern geflutet. Gleichzeitig bleiben viele Werke von echten Künstler*innen aus Museumssammlungen unbekannt.

Wir möchten mehr echte Kunst in Sozialen Netzwerken sehen und haben deshalb das Projekt Museum of Skeletons gestartet

Die #openglam Kunstwerke teilen wir unter #museumofskeletons bei Instagram und Bluesky und hier in unserem Mastodon Account
