Museum 2.0

DECEMBER 22, 2010

I believe that the museum blogosphere is still underdeveloped and there's lots of room for people to share their inspiration, experience, and ideas. For a year now, Peter Linett and his friends at Slover-Linett Strategies have been blogging thoughtfully about connecting with arts audiences in new ways. The Museum of the Future.

Lastly, being able to use our bodies and minds in new ways stimulates innovation. Beyond the immediate future, we will most certainly see AR gear and physical triggers take up less space over time—tablets to phones, glasses to contact lenses, and at some point, maybe the only tool we’ll need is our brain. Don’t miss out on bbcon 2017.

I just got home from the Museums and the Web conference in Indianapolis. I’d never attended before and was impressed by many very smart, international people doing radical projects to make museum collections and experiences accessible and participatory online.

That we don’t have to be chained to the singular story of suffering looping around in our mind. Really, this is only the tip of a very long fun/good list that would include spending time with my tough and tender little boy, taking him to museums, restaurants, parks, the climbing gym, letting him ride his bike to his friend's house.

Thanks to Kyle Evans, who forwarded me the fascinating, lengthy master’s dissertation.art: Situating Internet Art in the Modern Museum by Karen Verschooren at the MIT Comparative Media Studies program. In it, Karen provides a survey of the evolving relationship of Internet art to art museums. On the website?

And yet, over the last few years, as the web has unlocked piles of information, a quiet group of math-minded designers are figuring out how to interpret the vast impersonalness of data and make it both beautiful and meaningful. But when it comes to presenting data, most museum folks believe that over-interpretation is necessary.

Our volunteers are the heart and soul and brains and heavy lifters (figuratively and-- when you have boxes of books involved-- literally) of our organization. Never mind your work experience, what do you really want to be doing that the library can help you accomplish? We start each official meeting with introductions.
