Episode 043 - Ash & Katie, Bytes #6 - a conversation about platform ethics, highlighting the work of the National Gallery, and looking at the failed collab between Punchdrunk and Niantic

Digital Works Podcast

The sixth in our new series, Bytes, where Ash and Katie discuss 3 things from the latest Digital Works Newsletter.
In this episode we'll be discussing some of the links in the newsletter that went out on January 29th.
We talk about:

• Hugh Wallace asking 'is it time to shake up your social media', the Association of Cultural Enterprises leaving X, and X being flooded with offensive AI fakes of Taylor Swift (the AI assistant in our podcast platform wanted to title this episode "Explore the ethical battlefield of digital platforms" which I think neatly sums up the tone of our discussion!).
• The work the National Gallery is doing on social media (particularly on Threads and Tiktok) and why it's working.
• A great long read about the failed collaboration between immersive theatre company, Punchdrunk, and games company, Niantic.
