Art museums are using digital technologies in groundbreaking ways: creating smart phone apps and interactive kiosks, turning catalogs into e-publications, using social media to crowd source exhibitions and acquisitions, re-imagining access to their on-line collections, building maker spaces for artists and visitors. Is all this redefining the museum’s mission and the curator’s role or expanding their possibilities?
Join us for a “behind the scenes” conversation with five experts who are leading this transformation. Each of them will demonstrate the cutting-edge technologies and innovative vision they are bringing into their institutions, and setting benchmarks for the field. We will get a firsthand look at how museums are responding to the ever-changing digital environment and will also hear about some inventive developments underway at institutions in other parts of the country and around the world.
