#colorizing

Joulukuussa 1941 rintamalinjat vakiintuivat, ja sota muuttui asemasodaksi myös Metsäpirtissä. Vartiointi ja partiointi jatkuivat tauotta päivin ja öin kylmässä, lumisessa metsässä, koetellen miehiä jatkuvasti. Joillakin osuuksilla käytiin yhä ankaria yhteenottoja. Yksikin virhe saattoi vaarantaa etulinjan, minkä vuoksi valppaus oli herkeämätöntä. •••••••• [ sa-kuva | 70262 | M.Persson ]

On April 22, visual historian Jordan Lloyd released a “Colorizer’s Code of Conduct”in response to the scandal. The code seeks to provide an ethical framework for professional colorizers. Colorization, Lloyd explained, has been a “craft” since the 19th century. Now artificial intelligence has changed the industry, for better or for worse. In a personal conversation, Lloyd emphasized that practitioners must use digital technology prudently, approach colorization as a “genuine line of historical inquiry,” and distinguish between work of “sentimental” versus “commercial” value. Loughrey’s unethical conduct, Lloyd argued, was the result of promoting his business, while claiming to serve Cambodian families. He “cheated” by automating his workflow in order to post online content at high frequency. The algorithms of social media aggregators reward this behavior, said Lloyd, and it produced the “stripping away of context.”
