Cultural Platforms and Digital Participation - digital allows you to develop and disseminate narratives for your museums in a new form, and the ability to connect with distant audiences across the world. #VCday2018 @Indigo_H_J #MuseSocial
But there are barriers to digital participation - remote communities, aged and Indigenous folk are the least represented in the digital sphere

'Publics' r social groups that form around knowledge & the narratives tht result from tht knowledge (Hartley and Potts). Your non digital publics might be yr local community,your digital publics are those who visit your website/your social media #VCday2018 @Indigo_H_J #MuseSocial
[#musetech syllabus thread: week 8!] Tonight's topic was CROWDSOURCING & PARTICIPATION. We kicked off the readings with @ninaksimon's "Why Participate?" participatorymuseum.org/preface/
"When people can actively participate with cultural institutions, those places become central to cultural and community life." - @ninaksimon See also Chapter 1: Principles of Participation participatorymuseum.org/chapter1/ 
We also read a guest post on @ninaksimon's blog about the "Oh Snap!" project which involved online and offline participation, including a physical exhibit of visitor-contributed photos surrounding works from the @CarnegieArtMuse collection museumtwo.blogspot.com/2013/03/guest-…
[#musetech syllabus thread: week 7!] This week's topic? MOBILE. We talked about techniques for are offering museum experiences anytime and anywhere... #mtogo
(There's a ton of ways to think about this topic so bear with me as I share a bunch of awesome links!)
One of my favorite #musetech articles of all time: "Catching Our Breath: Assessing Digital Technologies for Meaningful Engagement," by Mann, Moses and Fisher in @NAMExhibitions journal fall 2013 goo.gl/ACPuUM
[#musetech syllabus thread: week 6!] This week's readings focused on in-gallery tech. We kicked off the topic with @rosemarybeetle's blog post on what the @V_and_A learned from observing visitors vam.ac.uk/blog/digital-m…
We also investigated @CultureGrrl's critique of @cooperhewitt's Pen, @ClevelandArt's Gallery One, and @MuseumModernArt's Audio+ wsj.com/articles/the-b…
We also delved into the responses @CultureGrrl received from #musetech pros like @SarahatReynolda @donundeen @sebchan @caw_ who largely called for a more nuanced (and inclusive) critique of the role tech can play in museum visits artsjournal.com/culturegrrl/20…
[#musetech syllabus thread: week 5!] This week's theme was digitization and, boy, did we get lucky with a guest lecture by @dzorich! We read the @SIxDIGI's founding 2010 document "Creating a Digital Smithsonian" si.edu/content/pdf/ab…
We also brushed up on @3D_Digi_SI's efforts including the compelling case study of the Cosmic Buddha 3d.si.edu/model/fullscre… Catch up on the background in this Gizmodo piece: gizmodo.com/the-smithsonia…
We also read @nancyproctor's @curatorjournal piece on @googlearts, published shortly after the project's launch in 2011, in which she brilliantly laid out many of the opportunities and fears we are still debating today. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.…
[#musetech syllabus thread: week 4!] This week we explored how museums are opening up collections for re-use and rethinking storytelling in the digital age. Saddle up!
& Jane Burton offer a primer on the history of the "online exhibition" (and its unfortunate second-class, second-thought status) in this @museweb paper: mw2013.museumsandtheweb.com/paper/online-e…
's presentation of @ExploreWellcome's long-form immersive story "Mindcraft" asks us to think about how to do SLOW in a fast, snackable online world theguardian.com/culture-profes…
[#musetech syllabus thread: week 3!] This week my "Museums and New Media" class explored online collections. We discussed how to publish *usable* collection information and explored openness as a value in museums.
"Digital Knowledgescapes: Cultural, Theoretical, Practical, and Usage Issues Facing Museum Collection Databases in a Digital Epoch" by Fiona Cameron and Helena Robinson (2007) problematizes traditional museum approaches to documentation in the digital age. …tpress.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.7551/m…
A good quote from Cameron and Robinson's piece to ponder. When we publish from collection management systems straight to the web, are we thinking through the implications of that choice? Are we creating supportive educational spaces online or...? 🤔
Alright, #musetech nerds! Here's what we covered in week 2 of "Museums and New Media" at @GUmuseumstudies...
First, an oldie but goodie: 1998 Morrisey and Worts list article lists a range of interpretive strategies for engaging visitors using technology (think outside mere content delivery!) academia.edu/9284639/A_Plac…
Next up: Listen to @TylerGreenDC @peterdueker @annecgoodyear on @kojoshow debate the impact of digitization on how people view and experience works of art. Does super zoom kill artistic intent and destroy the museum business model? You decide! danamus.es/2013/07/02/mus…
[#musetech thread] It's back to school for me at @GUmuseumstudies, teaching "Museums and New Media" again! On my syllabus / presentation slides for first week: @Gavin_Mallory's "Museums are Experience Factories" blog.cogapp.com/museums-are-ex…
Next up: Great discussion of skills and mindsets required for the next generation of museum professionals in "Musetech: An Ideal Syllabus" by @geealbers @Kcody goo.gl/oK13ba My favorite? ✅ Critical Thinking in the Face of Relentless Change
I also included @ellengamerman's "A look at the museum of the future" because it features some amazing projects but also seriously problematic quotes about digital distraction and overpromises re: tech=draws young/diverse crowds. wsj.com/articles/a-loo…
