AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

Erica Baum, Nine Images from “Dog Ear”, (2011)

A dog-eared page — a folded corner — is the simplest memory system: it marks a stopping point, a favorite passage, a place to remember. Along with marginalia, underlining, and other notational strategies, dog ears map a history of reading and remind us that reading is a physical act: an encounter with words, to be sure, but also a tactile experience with paper and individual pages of a book. A dog ear is legible as a readerly engagement with the material text. Someone read this; someone stopped here.

NESTED WORLD is a stop motion animation created by twenty artists at the SGC International printmaking conference, TEXCHANGE 2019, product fair, Speedball Art Products table.  This project highlights the collaborative nature of stop motion animation and printmaking. We started with a monotype plate and Akua inks which served as a basis for all of the artist’s contributions. There were no limitations or instructions – only that each new artist started with what was left from the previous artist.- Susan Rostow

This was part of Printflix: thepostdigitalprintmaker and Susan Rostow curated for MakeReady @ SGCI 2021

Susan Rostow is a Brooklyn-based multi-media artist, who uses printmaking, sculptural prints, sculptural books and stop frame animation to reimagine our world.

Soil by Meejin Hong

Meejin Hong’s Soil is a paint-on-glass animated film exploring the life cycle of an organism and dualities within human nature. It was created frame by frame on a multi-plane setup using Akua Intaglio Inks and Akua Liquid Pigment. I utilized the reductive monotype technique to make each frame only to wipe away and start again for the next frame. With this medium, I found the temporary and repetitive nature of the process kindred to Buddhist sand mandalas that are destroyed once they have been completed. This impermanence allowed a stream of conscious brainstorming, propelling me into the fantastic, more primitive side of creation.

Meejin Hong is a director, animator, artist based in Los Angeles combining hand crafted 2d, stop motion and digital animation techniques for music videos, visuals for live performances, short films, and commercial work.
