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. When anyone asks me who's doing great work blending online and onsite experiences in museums, I send them to Beck Tench at the Museum of Life and Science. The Museum of the Future.

Dear Museums on Twitter, Thanks for experimenting in a new and largely uncharted online environment. So here is a list of suggestions that hopefully will improve the way your museum thinks about using Twitter. Or it's rainy so you suggest I visit the museum? I am a museum of Native Cultures and Art!" You could do better.

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. Instead, I found a standard art museum. Impersonal guards.

Okay, they don't eat people's brains. and with it flocks of museum studies / education / exhibit planning graduate interns. I’m always curious when I meet these folks, who are about my age, choosing a different entry path into the museum world. The value proposition of museum grad programs is cloudy in my mind.

The very first game post I ever wrote was about incorporating game mechanics into museum experiences. In other words, Amy is the brain behind how and why we game. While her main audience is software and game developers, I think the material translates directly to other experience providers (like museums).

Eventually, I realized that if development professionals really want to make a difference in their organization’s ability to raise money, they not only need to think about their donors, they need to understand how the donor brain works. Imagine walking into a museum and at the entrance coming across three buckets. The ‘Me-Too’ Effect.

Seb Chan has a lovely, long interview up at Fresh+New with Helen Whitty about the Powerhouse Museum's new mini-exhibition, the Odditoreum. The Odditoreum is another wrinkle in the study of visitors' understanding and interpretation of authenticity in museums. I enjoyed listening to it (virtually, not at the museum).

For many arts/museum professionals, writing text in 100-word chunks is a daily activity. Now I find Hemingway infiltrating my brain when writing almost anything--including this blog post.

The possibilities are immeasurable if only we seize this moment to invest in technology as an engine for social good.

I believe that focusing specifically on the social capacity of an object, rather than its content or interpretation, yields new design techniques for museum exhibits and other participatory spaces. And there are three reasons I’d really value your participation: I want to suck your brain and revel in your inventiveness.
