Museum 2.0

APRIL 17, 2013

When we talk about museums or cultural institutions as vehicles of social and civic change, what does that really mean? Museum work is mostly non-contact. Meanwhile, arts industry leaders worry about " oversupply " of organizations in the face of dwindling demand. We all work for nonprofits.

Museum technology nerds: this post is for you. I've been thinking recently about distributed content experiences--ways for people to interact with museum content (art, history, science, etc.) as they make their way through the world outside the museum. At the museum? but none of them are great. Who's tackling them?

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. Coincidence?
