Programme B
Monday 2 March – Friday 6 March 2009
To what extent does the web visitor have agency to ‘act back’ or to
‘author’ their interactions with museum websites?
How is new media being conceived as an ‘interpretative’ or ‘augmenting’
dimension of the museum experience and with what effects?
How do museums see and understand the value of the use of personal
mobile media within the museum?
These questions have been grouped under the title ‘Resolutely Analogue?
Art Museums in Digital Culture’ to signal the tension between change and
continuity, between new media enthusiasms and traditional museological
practices. Issues such as the use of media in the gallery centered on
authority and provenance, ownership and copyright, and user engagement
will also be discussed throughout the week’s programme.
