Hannah Redler:
Science Museum started with the "Non-Art collection" from the V&A. The
useful category of non-art.
Wellcome Wing commissions weren't intended to be accessioned.
Daryl Viner was delighted to make a functionless machine in the Science
Museum.
Energy, fuelling the future, Casson Mann design plus Soda for ring. Is
it museum information
Have now accessioned Pope and Guthrie an Artist's Impression.
Listening Post was acquired with a grant from the Art Fund. Health and
safety wanted to make sure that artists had public liability insurance
for the rest of their lives because of electricity. She got Museum
engineers to install under their direction and thoroughly electrically
tested.
Perception - has a computer done all the hard work?
Visibility - why aren't curators going to all the right art fairs
finding this art?
Collecting - like collecting animals not objects? Good archiving work
at SFMOMA.
At Tate, Rafael is collected under Meso American rather than media?
Q: Vocabulary of Interaction?
A: Science Museum audience is open to interaction but not experts.
