Museum 2.0
DECEMBER 11, 2007
This is not an analytical post (primarily); it's an announcement and invitation to join the new project I've been working on with The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, CA. The Tech Virtual is a project that allows people to conceptualize and prototype exhibits online. The meat is people coming together to design exhibits.

The exhibition I'm curating for The Tech Museum of Innovation is opening and we are hosting a summit on June 4 (in real life and in Second Life ) for museum professionals to discuss the process by which it was created. In March, we selected the best of the virtual exhibits for translation into the real world.

That's my avatar, I'm live blogging from Second Life. This morning I attended the MacArthur Foundation Digital Learning briefing that was taking place at the Natural History Museum in NYC.

danah boyd has a post called " On Being Virtual " (be sure to read the comments) As Kevin Gamble on the SLED list notes, what she seems to be saying is that if you look at the rise of social tech amongst young people, it's not about divorcing the physical social structures to live virtually.
