Elisa’s focus is interactive arts, media design, and cultural management, and she has been involved in many pertinent projects, such as MUVI (the Virtual Museum of the Collective Memory of Lombardia).

Sound scary? While it's a bit hard to follow, you can watch some video of the participation here and here , or read one audience member's exhaustive review here to understand more. Watching video of a performance with Dean narrating, it was immediately apparent how powerful and unusual this audience participation was.

On June 4, we opened The Tech Virtual Test Zone , a new 2000 sq ft gallery at The Tech Museum of Innovation featuring exhibits on the theme of art, film, and music that were originally developed in Second Life by a community of creative amateurs. Some museum pros have been puzzled by this.

But what if you are in an educational setting, like a museum? This was a huge challenge in designing Operation Spy , a live action narrative immersion game at the Spy Museum.

It sounded great, until her last comment: She told me that it was a really important program, because libraries are the heart of the community…well, in elementary schools at least. That may sound simple, like “my town, or my campus, or my organization.” Who’s the community? The first step: Identifying your community.

Yesterday, I turned in my keys and said goodbye to the Spy Museum and to Operation Spy, the narrative, immersive game experience I've been developing/building over the last two years. Instead of guides leading groups, there are actor/facilitators who interact with visitors throughout their experience. It's about economics.

On Musematic , Holly Witchey has rigorously recorded her recent experience at WebWise, a " IMLS/RLG/OCLC/Getty sponsored conference" on Libraries and Museums in the Digital World that was held March 1-2. To museum ears, this is fairly blasphemous--the idea that people want to use our content, not our exhibits. content providers.

Earlier this year, the New Museum and Creative Time commissioned a traveling piece by artist Jeremy Deller called "It Is What It Is: Conversations About Iraq." I saw It Is What It Is twice at the Hammer Museum. Why would I want to talk about Iraq on a visit to an art museum? Even for me, the barriers were too high.
