  • MuseumNext Digital Income Summit, July 2021

    Warren Wilansky, Founder of the agency «Plank» points out that pivoting digital is not simply a workaround for the pandemic but an essential task for the future of cultural institutions.

  • Culture Geek Conference 2021, day 3

    Some interesting insights on financial aspects of digital content came from Francesca die Nuzzo from Baker Richards: Art lovers are willing to pay more because they tend to have higher incomes.

  • Culture Geek Conference 2021, day 2

    Flores Mexicana at the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) A VR Tour through an exhibition of mainly paintings and sculptures with audio and video interviews.

  • Yes and no … MuseumNext Tech in Amsterdam, 5th of October 2018

    Yes, it is worth reminding oneself that saying «yes» always means saying «no» to something else … and the other way round.  And the keynote of the MuseumNext Tech in Amsterdam by Shannon Darrough, director digital Media of the MoMA, about «the cost of saying yes» – opportunity costs that is – starts off quite…

  • Do we still need to talk about digitizing the museum?

  • MuseumTech at the Jewish Museum Berlin, 30 Nov 2017

    This very focussed one-day event by the organizers of MuseumNext was called MuseumTech but it was actually much more than the geeky tech event one might have expected. In a time when the digital becomes ever more ubiquitous, for museums, questions about technology become intertwined with strategic aims, topics such as outreach and accessibility as…

  • Joseph Beuys meets Harry Potter and Crumpy Cat

    Any links between the fictional character Harry Potter and the charismatic German artist Joseph Beuys seem extremely farfetched if not for Schloss Moyland with its neo-gothic facade. It hosts the biggest collection of the work of Beuys but could easily be mistaken as Hogwarts, where the young student of wizardry (Harry Potter, not Beuys) had…

  • stART campt im Historischen Museum Basel

    Wie können soziale Medien zum erweiterten Raum einer Kulturinstitution werden? Wie sieht eine digitale Strategie für ein Museum aus? Kann man mit WhatsApp Geschichte lebendig vermitteln?

  • Joanneum Museumsakademie zum Thema: Das de-professionalisierte Museum (4. + 5. Dec, Wien)

    „Bloggerinnen sind die heutigen Kritikerinnen, Passanten die neuen Korrespondenten, ambitionierte Laien gefragte Darsteller/innen im professionellen Theaterbetrieb: Kultur und Medien finden sich gegenwärtig in einem Transformationsprozess, der die traditionelle Rolle von Expertinnen und Experten neu definiert. Und auch in den Museen hat eine in den letzten Jahren allerorts geforderte (und gefeierte) Öffnung unter Einbeziehung von Laien…
