Museum 2.0

DECEMBER 11, 2007

The online platform has two parts: a website , where all projects originate, and a Second Life presence ("The Tech" in Second Life), where participants can communicate in real-time, share ideas, and build virtual prototypes. I know that Second Life can be a clunky, frustrating experience.

You might see an over representation of Point Lobos- this is because of the pre-conference digital photography workshop a few of us (including me!) We managed to get a medium quality Quicktime stream that we put into Second Life, and higher quality Flash video stream , that we made available on the web.

Reading the stories, I flashed back to the writing exercises I used to give students in poetry classes. We've seen that happen with The Tech Virtual Museum Workshop. Being forced to design inside the bizarre physics of the Second Life design environment has taken us places we wouldn't have gone with traditional exhibit design tools.

For the same reason we do so with individual classes or constituency groups in the real museum. When I worked on The Tech Virtual project , I was often discomfited by the fact that I would spend entire days interacting with 10-30 people in Second Life, when I could interact with many more if I worked on the museum floor.
