Re: <nettime> Seeking alternatives: Artistic portfolio infrastructure against AI scraping and platform enclosure

["G.H. Hovagimyan via nettime-l" <nettime-l@lists.nettime.org>]

I’ve been exploring Elements bbs. It’s part of Matrix.org <http://matrix.org/> It depends upon what you mean by portfolio representation. There’s also Art work archive that is pretty good for portfolio presentation in a museum/gallery database style.  Both have public and private “rooms” for my public portfolio I use Kirby CMS. I don’t know if there is a way to shield from AI & Bots in that but you can probably get Claude to write a shield script for it (Kirby et al.)

Specifically, I am looking for alternative network protocols to host and give visibility to a personal artistic portfolio while actively evading automated scraping bots and mass commercial servers (M, A, G, A, etc.).While tools like Glaze or Nightshade offer data-poisoning defenses at the file level, I am interested in exploring infrastructural resistance. I have been looking into the "Small Web" and decentralized alternatives (p2p, Gemini, Gopher, etc.).

I look forward to hearing your insights, projects, and critical perspectives. Thank you very much!
