Museum 2.0

Can designers pull this off with physical spaces? But it's not so easy to integrate into larger-scale museum writing. And if you try to write this way without sincerity, it will sound as flat as other text. Have you ever walked someone, a non-museum professional, through an exhibition you have or are working on?

Games often get a bad rap in the museum world. There are thousands of game developers out there creating unusual, beautiful, fascinating games that have changed the way I think about museum exhibits and game/play spaces. Today, two games about navigating non-linear narrative spaces, The Telephone and The Museum of Broken Memories.

There are interpretative trails and helpful staff to aid visitors in tuning in to the bird sounds and identifying the native animals now thriving in the preserve. I hope that I will one day walk into an archive or history museum and feel the same sense of urgency, purpose, and progress that I felt at Zealandia.

Jellyvision has now released a list of Jack Principles on Interactive Conversation Interface design. There's nothing too shocking in this design list, but it's a great alternate view into the window of interactive exhibit design. Everyone who walks up to a museum kiosk knows it isn't "alive". That's right, Calder mobile.

At the risk of sounding like the biggest dork on the East Coast, a few weeks ago I sat down with some friends to play the new Lord of the Rings board game. McGonigal comments that we need a new kind of serious game: Games that are designed as functions with an end result that is a measurable difference in the present state of reality.

Today, the Luce Center at the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) is launching what they claim is the first ever alternate reality game (ARG) in a museum. Why would an art museum create an ARG? And the "stuff" of the game is real stuff, artifacts created by players and sent to the museum. To expand their audiences.

It's a worthwhile 30 minutes of discussion about the use of sound to provide an emotional context for stories--specifically, stories about science. They have arguments about consciousness without sounding pretentious. They are a pair of designers working it out. They are storytellers, not fact sharers.

The way most game designers deal with this is by using the concept of starter knowledge as a hook, not a real part of the game. But what if you are in an educational setting, like a museum? This was a huge challenge in designing Operation Spy , a live action narrative immersion game at the Spy Museum.

It sounded great, until her last comment: She told me that it was a really important program, because libraries are the heart of the community…well, in elementary schools at least. That word change supports co-design, it encourages collaboration, and it ensures engagement. Community-Driven Model. Who’s the community?

In 1990, educator and cultural critic Neil Postman described a museum as "an answer to a fundamental question: what does it mean to be a human being?" Without an explicit "I" voice, the museum's perspective on humanity is oblique to say the least. Welcome to Pine Point is not a museum project. It uses multimedia beautifully.

At first listen, the book sounded like a childhood favorite of mine, The Eleventh Hour , a lavishly illustrated whodunit riddled with ciphers and a solution in a sealed envelope. It changed the way I think about narrative game design. Not so with museums. But A Treasure's Trove is far more than an armchair adventure.

Was it a museum professional or an outsider? I'm kneedeep in the final run-up to the opening of Operation Spy at the Spy Museum, but in the fleeting moments between disasters and near-disasters, I'm thinking about AAM. Several were created or conceived by a single person, often an artist/non-museum professional.

It's Labor Day, and across the country, a working dichotomy is manifest in museums. How often should educators, designers, and execs push back from their desks, throw on a nametag, and walk the floor? For mostly practical reasons, museum staff offices have shifted over the last couple decades further and further from the public.

You've probably heard of the Creation Museum , opening tomorrow near Cincinatti. The Creation Museum is itself a creation of the Answers in Genesis ministry, and has the most unique museum mission statements I've ever seen. The reviewer makes it sound like a fairy tale: pleasant to explore without concern for reality.
