[#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…
Of course we had to look at the amazing interactive documentary "Jheronimus Bosch, the Garden of Earthly Delights"... do NOT miss "Diabolical bird on potty chair" (right panel, middle) tuinderlusten-jheronimusbosch.ntr.nl/en#
We also dug into @Gavin_Mallory's backgrounder on the @Still_Museum's clever implementation of @iiif_io to encourage #slowlooking blog.cogapp.com/deeper-more-me…
We were honored to host @NMAAHC's Jessica Johnson, who showed us how the museum's world class #musesocial team is using Twitter, FB Live, Insta, Snapchat and more to share stories through multiple lenses and connect people's concerns today with the history that came before.
Check out "Many Lenses" nmaahc.si.edu/explore/manyle… or #SmithsonianCypher twitter.com/i/moments/9264… for great examples of @NMAAHC's multi-platform, perfect-for-digital storytelling prowess
Switching gears a bit, we took a deeper dive into the potential of openness and collaboration when it comes to museum collections and data. Love this piece on the #LODLAM led by @sosarasays and others hyperallergic.com/180422/smithso…
tells it like it is when she makes it clear why museums must have a stake in improving (and using) Wikipedia content. medium.com/digital-moma/b…
And, finally, Olivia Vane explores how we "make sense" of history using "interactive diagrams" derived from a collection API as part of her fellowship at @cooperhewitt labs.cooperhewitt.org/2017/exploring…
That's a wrap for week 4! I'd love to know what digital storytelling formats you're loving or to hear about the inspiring #openGLAM projects you're seeing that open up opportunities for new discoveries within (and uses of) our collections.

[#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-…

(There's a ton of ways to think about this topic so bear with me as I share a bunch of awesome links!)

[#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 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...? 🤔 The structure and content of online collection documentation has yet to be questioned more rigorously in both the theoretical and user needs contexts. The challenge to create new collection data models for online collections that are capable of transforming collection documentation tools into effective and sustainable knowledge environments remains. One may also ask how changes resulting from this questioning will re

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…
