Il museo come esperienza - Luca Rosati. Sull’esperienza museale sono apparsi recentemente articoli molto belli che hanno riacceso riflessioni su temi a me cari. A fare da detonatore, il caso del Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum di New York, che ha da poco rinnovato la propria esperienza di visita attraverso l’adozione dell’internet of things. L’esperienza come processo L’esperienza è un processo dinamico che evolve nel tempo e nelle spazio, che comincia prima della visita e prosegue oltre la visita stessa. Al Cooper Hewitt sono molto consapevoli di questo, lo spiega bene Luisa Carrada. [Al Cooper Hewitt] Tutto comincia infatti prima della visita, che si può pianificare sul sito del museo seguendo le suggestioni più diverse, perfino le sfumature di colore che accomunano i diversi oggetti o le loro dimensioni. Luoghi scrivibili La nostra interazione con luoghi e persone genera storie.
Registrare queste storie, renderle disponibili a futura memoria, renderle manipolabili, schiude opportunità infinite, è una ricchezza enorme.

Gli Hangouts On Air per un museo espanso e partecipativo. In un bel libro di Roberto Peregalli, “I luoghi e la polvere” (edito da Bompiani), a un certo punto l’autore scrive: “il museo deve introdurre la gente in un mondo speciale, in cui le opere dei morti dialogano con gli sguardi dei vivi, in un confronto duraturo e fecondo”. La vera sfida per i musei di oggi è in effetti quella di presentarsi come luoghi in cui la tradizionale visita sia capace di generare dialogo ed apprendimento. Il museo non solo come vetrina ma, in un’ottica di rinnovamento dei processi di accesso alla cultura, anche come punto d’incontro e conversazione, capace di coinvolgere il pubblico attraverso nuovi strumenti di socializzazione a disposizione in rete.
Uno di questi, senza dubbio, è l’Hangout On Air di Google: questo servizio permette di ripensare la comunicazione e la collaborazione online, aprendo nuovi scenari anche (e soprattutto) per le istituzioni museali. Progetto Web più accessibile per i disabili: pronti 400 mila euro -Regione Autonoma della Sardegna. VEDI LA FOTO Da Sardegna ricerche 400 mila euro per migliorare l'accessibilità dei contenuti del web a beneficio dei disabili con particolare riferimento agli internauti privi della vista. Il progetto è stato presentato ieri dal presidente di Sardegna Ricerche, Maria Paola Corona nell'ambito del workshop “Tecnologie per la disabilità” che si è tenuto nella sala conferenze, gremita, della Biblioteca regionale di viale Trieste. Obiettivo: discutere su come ridurre, tramite la tecnologia, le barriere che impediscono l'integrazione sociale dei disabili. Si è parlato delle carenze dei siti internet, pubblici e privati, e delle difficoltà incontrate dai non vedenti per accedere ai contenuti.
«I problemi maggiori riguardano i social network e l'e-commerce», ha sottolineato Corona, «il rapporto tra il mondo delle tecnologie dell'informazione e quello della disabilità non è facile ma vogliamo migliorarlo riducendo le barriere».

La tecnologia può mettere le ali ai musei italiani | Linkiesta.it. Fino a qualche tempo fa il Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York non aveva neppure un piano coordinato per raccogliere gli indirizzi mail dei suoi visitatori, sei milioni di persone all'anno. Ora, come sottolinea il Wall Street Journal, la musica è cambiata. Se si vuole accedere al servizi wifi del museo, bisogna inserire i propri dati, così il Met ha già collezionato 100.000 indirizzi di posta elettronica.
Ed ormai non ci si limita più alle tradizionali newsletter. Adesso, grazie agli smartphone, chi visita una mostra o una collezione permanente può accedere a una vasta gamma di servizi. I Big Data cambieranno la fruizione dell'arte, come hanno già cambiato, in parte, il modo di fare politica o giornalismo? Il Met ha iniziato proprio in questi mesi la sperimentazione dei beacon, ma il leader americano, nel rapporto coi Big Data, sembra essere il Dallas Museum of Art, che utilizza i beacon già da tempo.

ICOM Publication: New Ideas for Presenting Museum Objects : Asia-Europe Museum Network. The Google Cultural Institute and Arts Accessibility: Where Is It All Going? December 10, 2014; VentureBeat Google has been making strides with a variety of different arts and cultural organizations, bringing relatively inaccessible work to the public through digital means.
The Google Cultural Institute archives and makes available to the online world images and documents relating to the history of film, artwork, preservation, and more. Soon, the Institute will expand to more than just an archive of history and art; it will serve as a platform for museums and galleries to create and manage their own mobile apps. The Institute will be an extension of Google Open Gallery, which has provided nonprofit cultural organizations with tools to create their own online gallery exhibits.
Currently in the pilot phase, Google is working with eleven organizations from four different countries (France, Italy, Netherlands, and Nigeria) to modify and find best practices for the platform. MOOCs Aren’t Revolutionizing College, but They’re Not a Failure. A few years ago, the most enthusiastic advocates of MOOCs believed that these “massive open online courses” stood poised to overturn the century-old model of higher education. Their interactive technology promised to deliver top-tier teaching from institutions like Harvard, Stanford, and MIT, not just to a few hundred students in a lecture hall on ivy-draped campuses, but free via the Internet to thousands or even millions around the world.
At long last, there appeared to be a solution to the problem of “scaling up” higher education: if it were delivered more efficiently, the relentless cost increases might finally be rolled back. Some wondered whether MOOCs would merely transform the existing system or blow it up entirely. Computer scientist Sebastian Thrun, cofounder of the MOOC provider Udacity, predicted that in 50 years, 10 institutions would be responsible for delivering higher education. Then came the backlash. Valuable snippets Justifying tuition Teaching teachers. Is a Museum a Database?: Institutional Conditions in Net Utopia. Mike Pepi Why Do We Look for Data in the Museum? In Art Project 2023, João Enxuto and Erica Love imagine the future of the Google Art Project, the search giant’s effort to reproduce images from the world’s top museums as it develops over the next decade.
The multimedia performance documents the slow erosion of the museum under the logic of corporate interests and the breathless adoption of digital innovation by none other than Google, whose stated goal is to “organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” Google purchases the Whitney Museum’s Breuer building and repurposes it as an “immersive” and “interactive” physical interface for the Art Project, where patrons have access to high-resolution images of the original works of art.
Each room is curated based on algorithms that crawl the user’s profile to predict optimal artworks. Art and Language, Index 01, 1972.

This picture has been all over my social media feed for the last week. It's a group of teenagers engrossed in their phones in front of Rembrandt's Night Watch at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. And the more I read comments from my colleagues, the madder I got. I didn't get mad at those teenagers, I got mad at my colleagues (and others) whose comments included "so sad," "sigh," "how have we let this happen?
" As it happened, I spent a day at the Rijksmuseum last winter including some time in that very room looking at the art and yes, taking photos. Here's one I took. The same absorption, but with a different tool. Would this have caused the handwringing? Wow, a student reading to learn more (take a closer look to see what he's reading). Sharing a selfie. We all know that photographs only capture a single moment. But why did the comments make me mad?
I think there's an enormous amount to be said for learning to just look at art. Call for Papers: Rethinking University Museums : Asia-Europe Museum Network. 2+3D Photography – Practice and Prophecies - What’s on. Rijksmuseum, 15–16 April 2015 Professional photographers have successfully adapted to the challenges presented by image digitization, even to the extent that a streamlined, standardized data workflow has been developed and integrated into practice. Digital photography has emerged as a powerful process. New applications for science, research, and object conservation appear regularly. Advancements are moving very fast, such that, just as everything seems to be properly integrated into our workflow, new technical advancements regarding developments in areas such as restoration, radiography, or 3D printing seem to appear out of nowhere. The lessons the heritage and fine art community has learned in recent years with a shared understanding of what would be best practice must be applied to the challenges presented by any new digital techniques that arise.
This conference will inspire us to adopt existing standardized workflows, and challenge us to adapt to new digital possibilities. Scope. Key Concepts of Museology. Each museum is made up of professionals with a complex mix of skills and specialisms. Interaction between these professionals is growing worldwide and within the ICOM network. A common language that conveys the complex reality of current social and cultural values–ethical, aesthetic, scientific and technological–remains a constant concern for those in charge of transmitting a message to society, particularly in the field of museology. In this context, the International Committee of ICOM for Museology (ICOFOM) developed the booklet “Key Concepts of Museology”, an avant-première of the complete Dictionary of Museology, a reference tool that will provide museum professionals worldwide with a common language. The booklet, distributed during the 22nd ICOM General Conference, presents 21 fundamental concepts of museology.
“Key Concepts of Museology” is available in several languages. Mots-clés - documentation. D A M S E G - Database of Archaeological Material from Swedish Excavations in Greece | Swedish Institute at Athens. To the database The database has been compiled as an inventory of mainly published and exhibited material from the Swedish excavations in the Argolid. This database can, and hopefully will be extended in the future to encompass material from all Swedish excavations in Greece. It will eventually comprise both human and animal bones and information on conservation treatment of ceramics and metals. We also hope it can be complemented with photographs, drawings, diaries etc in the future. Where is the material stored? The Swedish excavations at Asine, Dendra/Midea and Berbati in the Argolid can be divided chronologically into fieldwork carried out before and after the Second World War.
As was the rule before the War, objects considered as having an intrinsic value were not kept in the provincial museums but were, for security reasons, moved to the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. The status of the material after the Second World War How to use the database. AppendI. Solutions for Museum Storage Problems. Solutions for Museum Storage Problems We can help you drive efficiency and save money: About the Bespoke Service Wessex Archaeology is the UK’s most comprehensive archaeological service provider. We are aware that many of the nation’s museums are struggling with a lack of storage space for archaeological archives and are burdened with on-going store rental costs. We can now offer our new Archive Review service to museums with archaeological collections and archives. We can help to increase your storage space by assessing collections in order to identify material of little or no future academic value, which can then be targeted for selective dispersal.
We have recently worked with Winchester Museums Service to substantially reduce their holdings of ceramic and stone building material, reviewing the material on the basis of provenance and intrinsic interest. Our costs start from £325 + VAT, plus expenses for an archive visit, assessment and verbal report. CHAP7. Vernon Cataloguing.
