I’ve got one last bug from our upgrade. #627 — RTEs are cleaning less.
Before the upgrade, extraneous styling was removed from copied and pasted text in rich text editors. Since the upgrade, more of that styling is sticking around. We only need to keep bold, italic, and links. Other styling can go. (We may have kept bullets and numbering too?).

Introduction Text: Transmissions

I’m Charlotte Ogorek, the museum’s Rexroth Project Assistant, I am Allie Blankenship, the curatorial assistant for Photography and I am Rose Hairane, the curatorial assistant for the museum’s South Asian Art, Islamic Art, and Antiquities Department. We will be reading selections from the interpretive introduction text for this art installation in the Conversations Gallery, titled Transmissions.

The artworks displayed here raise questions about communication itself. How can one person cause another to understand what is on their mind?

Most human communication is based on symbols such as marks, gestures, or sounds. We use these symbols to represent incredibly complex feelings and thoughts, which have no tangible or audible form. Transmitting meaning through symbols involves a wild leap of faith: ultimately, we rely on others to unfold and reanimate our symbols within their minds. This form of communication can create powerful human connections. But in our pursuit to understand and be understood, we also misunderstand, fail to listen, reveal things we do not intend, and send intentionally disguised messages. Our marks and gestures bear tremendously complexity.
