Museum 2.0

MARCH 3, 2011

This winter, I once again taught a graduate class in the University of Washington's Museology program. In 2009 , students built a participatory exhibit from scratch. The guiding principle is uncovering relationships between the works of art themselves rather than explicating information or theoretical concepts.

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.

Part 1: It's What You Want In 2002, I was finishing a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at WPI, a hands-on, technical university in Worcester, Massachusetts. I also learned that the best money in museums for someone who's starting out is in art modeling. But internship after internship didn't live up to those expectations.

Kathleen McLean (Independent Exhibitions), Dan Spock (Minnesota History Center), and Kris Morrissey (University of Washington) all shared thought-provoking and useful insights on visitor participation in museums, but Mark Allen and Emily Lacy brought down the house with their bluegrass rendering of the Machine Project and its engaging, quirky work.
