Museum 2.0

MAY 9, 2007

In January, I interviewed Sibley about the potential use of virtual worlds and Second Life by museums, but in the four months since then, the virtual world platform--and the hype around it--has exploded. It seems that Second Life is both the closest and farthest thing from many museum professionals' minds.

There are lots of museums (and organizations of all kinds) looking for ways to inspire users and visitors to produce their own content and share it with the institution online. The World Beach Project is managed by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London with artist-in-residence Sue Lawty. It's not marketing hype.

There's a more measured article about twitter from the MIT Technology Review that gets beyond the hype to talk about twitter's functionality. No more dealing with one team member on AIM, another on gchat, one who thinks IM services are evil, and the fourth on the museum floor with a cell phone. Is this good for anything?

You can almost visualize swarms of companies jumping off into the abyss following competitors, self serving social media consultants and momentum created by mainstream media hype, each yelling “weeeee, social meeeeeedeeeeahhhh” and then realizing (maybe too late) with wide open eyes that they’re not prepared (no social media policy, no roadmap).

But now it seems evident that this is a great platform for long-distance, contemporaneous experiences--at concerts, ball games, museums, workplaces, reunions--of all kinds. I used to ask, "how would I ever use this?"

So often, people struggle to shoehorn museum content into new technologies. They wanted to use the museum content directly, with no chronological timed release. They wanted a way for people in the museum’s learning lab and people at home to share comments and to see each others’ submissions. Museums Engaging in 2.0

When hype is the driver, the essential step of evaluating a given technology for its functional value is lost. The technology, like other gifts, is evaluated, not hyped or coerced.

been through the cycle a few times, hype and burn. Maybe for nonprofits, it is in the marketing area, where taking people into your world makes sense or for museums. Gary Hayes points to one of his older posts about this issue with a visual. He also remarks: This area of future gazing really polarizes people, especially those who have.

More importantly, you’ll need to advertise the event so that supporters get hyped about wanting to attend. A backyard cookout will have a much more intimate, relaxed feel than a gala at an art museum. To ensure that the reward is meaningful to your donors, you’ll need to create an event atmosphere that your donors will enjoy.

Some over-hype it as "magical" and "transformative." Moreover, the iPad will likely prove a good platform for developing kiosks in public spaces like museums, or even your organization's lobby. Apple's new iPad tablet computer has spawned some mixed reactions. Personally, I'm bullish on the product.

Like, we really want to stick to a strategy of being very confident and cautious because we don’t want to build hype. You said there is one at the Petersen Museum that’s not drivable but is built out. Like nothing we’ve done. even, you mentioned the award, winning the award [at the LA Auto Show], we’ve not promoted anything.

It’s a platinum-cast skull encrusted with over 1100 carats of diamonds: a hype machine in death’s clothing. Advertisements for the skull blanketed Amsterdam, and other museums even tried to get in on the buzz generated by its presentation. It’s no coincidence that Hirst is known for art that aggressively courts and plays with hype.

This interest stems back to the very beginning of the Museum 2.0 Since 2006, I've heard terms like "wikimuseum" and "YouTube museum" spring from the mouths of many well-meaning, interested museum directors and leaders, but I haven't seen enough concerted work to define what these metaphors really mean and how they can be used.
