Happy Provenance Day!

Provenance is the record of ownership of an object. It helps us have a deeper understanding of an artwork—who was interested in it, how much it cost, where it was displayed, and all the people and places that can be connected by one object.

the swiss cheese model likens processes or organizations to a stack of swiss cheese slices. each layer the thing has — e.g., 'leadership' or 'policies' — is a slice, and each slice has holes (weak spots). when the holes in the slices line up, that's when an accident can happen.

My latest.
