Museum 2.0

JUNE 6, 2008

On June 4, we opened The Tech Virtual Test Zone , a new 2000 sq ft gallery at The Tech Museum of Innovation featuring exhibits on the theme of art, film, and music that were originally developed in Second Life by a community of creative amateurs. On many levels, The Tech Virtual experiment was a success.

Imagine that your museum is ready to start creating content on a small-scale in Web 2.0. Imagine you are the Boston Museum of Science, and you are ready to make some videos to post on YouTube. When I search for "Boston Museum of Science" on YouTube, I find 83 videos. You're ready to make a few videos to post on YouTube.

I've written before about the inspiring work that the Brooklyn Museum of Art is doing with their community-focused efforts. Click is an exhibition process in three parts: The Museum solicited photographs from artists via an open call on their website, Facebook group, Flickr groups, and outreach to Brooklyn-based arts organizations.

Are you dazzled by Flickr? I'll be speaking at the end of the month at the AAM meeting in Denver, chairing sessions on virtual worlds (Tuesday 9am) and design inspirations from outside the museum field (Tuesday 10:30am). You don't have to be a museum professional to have a great contribution. Can't wait to emulate Epcot?

I want in-person museum experiences to be more like experiences on social sites like Flickr, where strangers connect and form relationships around content. A lot of what interests me about bringing 2.0

Artwork aside, SFMOMA deserves kudos for taking on every maintenance nightmare short of fire—the exhibition includes falling water, pools of water, moving floorboards, and the piece de resistance—a room permanently kept at 14 degrees F to preserve the icy art car inside. What matters is that SFMOMA recognizes the value of Web 2.0--and

How can you make your museum website more effective in driving traffic and raising awareness of your institution? But there is a simpler, more impactful way for museum websites to become more visible, cited, and visited in the online landscape. Museums are creating “walled gardens,” and it hurts online visibility and impact.

Every museum has a number for its operating cost per visitor. Most museums don't strategically set this number--too many operating costs are fixed by building needs--but they can use it to assess how expensive each visitor interaction is and evaluate the efficacy of programs. So where do online initiatives fit in?

How can you design museum spaces so that exhibits and artifacts become social objects--things that people want to share with each other? Flickr has photos. Facebook has a diversified object model--for some people, friend updates are the essential object, for others, it's virtual gifts. This is great news for museums.

I keep on telling my story of how I moved between the East and West, between physical environments (architecture, urban design) and virtual (web and mobile development and strategy), between technology and the humanities. They’ve had enough years to refine their art. This is so true. You can even add diary entries. The fold matters.

What if I just want to look at the art and be left alone?
