> To me as a curator, and I think to several others of my colleagues the central question remains, how can one create a real work of art analoguous to the wonders of a book in a previous age using a combination of digital resources and textual interpretation. The book was essentially a text based medium and the coffee-table book relied on images of beautiful things. The digital media enable the really smart and illuminating cross-relationships of different digital things and text as well. With the possibility of user engagement. That makes the museum a much more central to the new media but also raises the challenge of how one creates the compelling product.
